The entire implementation process is thus noticeably shortened. As a rule, only interfaces to one\u2019s own billing systems etc. are then developed.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>In addition, the SaaS version of efX offers the advantage of\u00a0scalability: customers can choose a package that suits them depending on the transaction volume, number of users, number of customers and number of invoices and scale it according to growth.

The difference is that with ef3, the modules that are to be used\u00a0individually\u00a0are already selected at the beginning. As a client, you only pay for these \u2013 with the option of booking new modules and functionalities later. With efX, customers receive standard market\u00a0modules in a package\u00a0(this excludes integrated or external partner applications), even if they do not have to use all of them at the beginning.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Another difference is billing: efX is\u00a0pay-per-use, whereas ef3 is unlimited. If certain values are exceeded, efX customers move to the next (price) level. The category \u201cefX L\u201d also offers unlimited use. And: unlike ef3, efX can also be offered as an\u00a0SaaS solution. This means that the application can be used globally from the cloud via Azure (Microsoft) or Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI). ef3 can only be used on-premises.<\/strong>[\/vc_toggle][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;efOnline&#8221; google_fonts=&#8221;font_family:Roboto%3A100%2C100italic%2C300%2C300italic%2Cregular%2Citalic%2C500%2C500italic%2C700%2C700italic%2C900%2C900italic|font_style:700%20bold%20regular%3A700%3Anormal&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1552659803622{padding-top: 50px !important;padding-bottom: 20px !important;}&#8221;][vc_toggle title=&#8221;How often is efOnline released?&#8221; style=&#8221;simple&#8221; custom_font_container=&#8221;tag:h3|text_align:left|color:%237ec385&#8243; custom_google_fonts=&#8221;font_family:Roboto%20Condensed%3A300%2C300italic%2Cregular%2Citalic%2C700%2C700italic|font_style:400%20regular%3A400%3Anormal&#8221; use_custom_heading=&#8221;true&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Answer:<\/strong><\/h4>\n<h4>As in the case of ef3, 4 releases are planned each year.<\/h4>\n<p>[\/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=&#8221;Is the use of efOnline limited to a certain number of users?&#8221; style=&#8221;simple&#8221; custom_font_container=&#8221;tag:h3|text_align:left|color:%237ec385&#8243; custom_google_fonts=&#8221;font_family:Roboto%20Condensed%3A300%2C300italic%2Cregular%2Citalic%2C700%2C700italic|font_style:400%20regular%3A400%3Anormal&#8221; use_custom_heading=&#8221;true&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Answer:<\/strong><\/h4>\n<h4>No, the good news is that we\u2019ve designed efOnline to be used by many users simultaneously \u2013 with zero loss of performance.<\/h4>\n<p>[\/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=&#8221;To what extent can the appearance of efOnline be customised to the specifications of the respective customer?&#8221; style=&#8221;simple&#8221; custom_font_container=&#8221;tag:h3|text_align:left|color:%237ec385&#8243; custom_google_fonts=&#8221;font_family:Roboto%20Condensed%3A300%2C300italic%2Cregular%2Citalic%2C700%2C700italic|font_style:400%20regular%3A400%3Anormal&#8221; use_custom_heading=&#8221;true&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Answer:<\/strong><\/h4>\n<h4>The idea is that efOnline should be almost 100% customisable to the factor\u2019s CI requirements.
