Getting started with Nilead Platform

Getting started with Nilead

Congratulations on choosing Nilead as your Digital Platform. Nilead Platform contains several core components that empower businesses to become more productive and grow efficiently.

The reason behind the platform

Users nowadays expect much more from websites than just information listing, they want to interact with the businesses online to get what they want and they want to be communicated on a personal level. Businesses also need to achieve more on their websites, they want to be able to do online sales, manage customers' relationships, provide online support, and engage in meaningful conversations with customers directly on their websites.

There are many software applications out there but they either offer just a single feature (and thus require additional work to integrate) or offer too much (and thus require a steeper learning curve). With Nilead, we aim to include just the essential features that most small and medium businesses require to succeed online with the 2 goals:

1. Productivity efficiency

2. Cost-effective

Hosting & Maintenance

Nilead is provided as a Software as a Service (SaaS). SaaS is sometimes referred to as "on-demand software".

Maintaining a secured and performant website is a lot of work, it requires highly-skilled experts in various areas (hosting, software, system, security, networking, etc...). With the SaaS model, your website and the whole platform that powers your website are hosted and maintained by Nilead on our global data centers. We help you to focus on your business by taking care of these things for you:

1. Maintenance: we ensure that the platform software, server's operating system, and related pieces of software required to run the website and services are up-to-date with the latest security and stability patches.

2. Backups: we ensure that your website's code and your data are always backed-up and ready for recovery in cases of disaster or business requirements.

3. Support: our monthly/annually packages include both hosting and technical support. You can rest assured that there will be someone there to help when things go wrong.

4. Features: we regularly update our platform to add new features, and these features become available to all our clients. Your website and the platform that powers your website are constantly updated to keep up with technology changes.

5. Accessibility: we can set up your website closer to your target audience to make it load faster for them. We have data centers in Asia (Singapore, Japan), Europe (Frankfurt, London), and North America (New Jersey, Silicon Valley, Toronto).

There is absolutely no limitation with SaaS, your content team can edit everything they want on the website with the documents we deliver per project. Your SEO team, in case you decide to utilize a 3rd party team, also has all the tools they need for managing and running successful SEO campaigns with our SEO Guide.

Migration

A common concern that many clients may have with SaaS services is what happens if the specific service is discontinued for any reason. We understand your valid concern and we make sure that your business can continue growing in the worst-case scenario.

You are not locked in with us. In cases that you would like to migrate to another system, you can request a cancellation of your website at any point. Upon your request we will deliver:

1. Copy of your current data (SQL format)

2. Copy of your frontend code (HTML/CSS/JS)

We also have (paid) technical support service to assist your technical team in migrating to another system as per your request. We have 2 articles that may help you:

1. Migrating to Nilead platform

2. Migrating from Nilead platform

NOTE When you move your site out of Nilead platform, you will no longer have access to all the features we included for you including CRM, Newsletter, Automation, and such.
