Looking Ahead: NeRA Cloud + ISO 27001 for Information Security
| |
| |
We have major plans on the horizon for 2022 that we're excited to share with you!
The new NeRA Cloud will undergo beta testing from mid-January 2022 and we anticipate to launch it by end of February. NeRA Cloud will offer secure database options and new functionalities to meet the more contemporary needs of the industry. Please note that due to the number of clients Australia-wide, transition to the new upgraded NeRA will need to be scheduled over the year. | | | |
We will also be transitioning our existing Windows applications to full cloud software applications from the third quarter of 2022, including: - eSA [Supplier Agreement]
- eMR [Maintenance Register]
- eRAD [Refundable Accommodation Deposit]
e-Tools is committing to ISO 27001, the international standard for information security. This is a significant undertaking, but one that is necessary to add an extra layer of protection for our clients and also to allow e-Tools to provide more links to government portals.
