Formever does not run in a web browser, it is its own separate app. We regard browsers as too untrustworthy an environment to entrust your enterprise data. Web browsers are totally untrustworthy with their continual updates, ability to adjust settings and install plug-ins. Part of Formever’s mission is to guarantee absolute security and reliability. To do this we have to have our own software running on your machine. That is why you have to download and install Formever.

Formever on your desktop and in the cloud are exactly the same. The advantages of using Formever in the cloud are several:

  • Multiple people in your business can work on the system simultaneously.
  • Automatic secure continuous backups. Never worry about losing data.
  • User roles to control access to the various parts of your business systems.
  • Free Automatic software upgrades. Get the latest releases with new features, improvements and bug fixes. Automatically and at no extra cost. Desktop version updates are also free, but you need to initiate the update.
  • Free Support
