[USER=17019]@Fullsend[/USER] Ok, now that is old code.
Data stored on their servers is a fact of life. Host it yourself! Sure, where? In your basement?
I think the point here is that hoteling/Tenancy (meaning your data is stored in the same database protected by your ID.
Is this bad? Yes, and No. Depends if I can reverse your data and Identify who you and your customers are.
Most subscriptions on the internet work on this principal though.
Safe choice? Have a separate data base for your data. It is not really that difficult to code but it is a little more expensive for the service to offer this.
What about storing on site in our basement.
If you think shrinkage is a problem. What until you try this!
it will be password protected! lol
Plus, we are now entering PCI / PII compliance. I don't think you'll pass.
Fullsend made a good point. Maybe the servers got turned off because data was still being sent back home.
If the code is so old, maybe the IIS servers are the same?
Remember folks! You can't patch a tire if the nail is too far into the sidewall. But your dealership is running on a code base that is potentially 2 decades old and if CDK doesn't have plans to rewrite their old code base (if Fullsend is correct) you will experience what WordPress deals with weekly. You will be a target of 3Leet script kiddies.
Personally, I hope CDK isn't using such an old framework and CDK understands that tech debt is something that is addressed in a timely manner.
