FAQ

About InfinCE
  • Who owns my data?

    You own your data.

  • What if I would like to run Software that is not in your Applications Marketplace?

    If you need a business application that is not currently listed in our Marketplace, please reach out to us. We can add it to InfinCE, and set it up in your private network, provided it supports integration and is compatible with InfinCE’s Single-Sign-On.

  • What happens if an employee leaves the company?

    The company’s InfinCE administrator can off-board an employee in one step. A user login that has been deactivated may be assigned to a new employee. If desired, the new employee may be given access to the prior employee’s files to facilitate onboarding.

  • How many employees can I add? Do I pay for each employee as and when I add them?

    You can register as many employees as needed. We only bill each employee that has used InfinCE during the calendar month, at the end of the month.

  • What additional applications are available?

    The list of InfinCE marketplace applications is growing. Our early efforts focus on opensource applications, but most commercially available software and SaaS applications can be integrated into InfinCE upon request.

  • What do I need to get started with InfinCE?
    1. A supported device (Desktop, Laptop, Chromebook, Tablet, or Smartphone)
    2. Internet access
    3. A Credit card
    4. We use your internet domain name as your unique InfinCE identifier. (This ensures you have rights to that name.) But if you don’t have one, we can help you get one while you sign up. (The availability and cost of a chosen internet domain name will vary.)
  • Why is InfinCE better than “run-your-business” software?

    First, InfinCE’s approach is to let you choose your software from a variety of solution providers. Second, when the provider licenses an open-source product, you are able to change it when and how you may want.

Mobile Apps
  • Can I download the InfinCE App from Playstore or App store?

    No, InfinCE App is not distributed on any public channels. It is an Enterprise specific App that pulls data stored in your own secure, private server. It is themed and branded with your company identity and hence is not published on Playstore/App store.

  • Is this App restricted to employees using InfinCE?

    Yes, the app is restricted to employees using InfinCE as they’d need to login to the app using their credentials.

  • What does the Mobile App cost?

  • How soon after I sign up is the Mobile App available?

    Once you sign up, you will need to select the desired design options for the Mobile Apps. These include color selections, company logo and text. This information is processed by us to produce an Android app within 5-10 minutes and iOS app within 1 business day (the Apple App store has a more complex App approval process).

  • Why do I need the app? What are some common use cases that the App is used for?

    Briefly speaking, the InfinCE Mobile App makes available on your smartphone, most of the features of your InfinCE virtual desktop. You would have

    • Dashboards: Access all your Dashboards from within the App and get your business summary.
    • Chats & Video calls: Collaborate with all your colleagues over instant messaging and video/audio calls.
