Portal Pro also includes the ability to import tag numbers, hardware set numbers and other fields from the PDF file that contains the door schedule with a click of a button. Saving time on entering projects of 50, 100 or 1000 door openings.

Portal Pro uses SQL Server for the database in lieu of Microsoft Access like some programs which means it can accommodate one to thousands of users at one time. So Portal Pro can grow with your business regardless of size. The database is also located in the cloud using Microsoft SQL Azure services. This allows you to access your data anywhere in the world as long as you have an Internet connection. And it eliminates the need for a database administrator on site. Microsoft provides constant backups of your data through SQL Azure services. This gives you the best of both worlds. The power of a desktop app with the mobile flexibility of a web based app through the Internet. Portal Pro has been using cloud services for many years.
