RamBase Cloud ERP is a multi-tenant system where each customer shares the same database and application. At the same time, each customer's data is isolated, secured, and invisible to other customers. RamBase is a Software as a Service (SaaS) solution, and all product updates and new functionality is available to all customers and users of the system as soon as it becomes live in the standard product as part of their subscription.
