GATEWAY SOLUTIONS & SERVICES

FACILEX® Hosting, Implementation & Professional Services

Choose how FACILEX® is delivered—and the experienced team that will help make it successful.

Gateway provides managed SaaS hosting, dedicated hosting and on-premises deployment services, backed by implementation, migration, software maintenance, training and specialized process safety expertise.

Discuss Your Deployment Options

Deploying process safety software is only the beginning.

Organizations must decide who will host the system, maintain its infrastructure, apply software updates, manage backups and support production operations. These responsibilities can be just as important as the application functionality itself.

Implementation also requires translating established business processes into configured lifecycles, connecting users and information sources, and migrating records without losing the context needed for regulatory reviews and operational decisions.

Gateway offers deployment choices and practical services to support FACILEX® throughout its operational life.

?
Your deployment strategy must answer:
  • Who is responsible for infrastructure, security patching and backups?
  • Is a managed SaaS service or on-premises deployment the better fit?
  • How will existing workflows and approval authorities be configured?
  • How will legacy records, drawings and linked information be preserved?
  • What training, support and upgrade services are required?
  • How will long-term performance and continuity be maintained?

Preserve important records, revision history, links and active work during migration or system replacement.

06

Long-term partnership

Combine implementation assistance, training, maintenance and continuing improvement as needs evolve.

Choose the hosting model that fits your organization.

Gateway supports different ownership and operating models. The right choice depends on IT policies, security requirements, infrastructure capabilities, cost structure and the level of operational responsibility your team wants to retain.

Gateway-Managed SaaS

Managed application hosting and ongoing platform operations.

  • FACILEX® hosted on Gateway-managed infrastructure in Microsoft Azure.
  • Gateway coordinates supported application and platform maintenance, monitoring and backups.
  • Reduces the need for customers to administer their own SharePoint and SQL Server infrastructure.
  • Supports configured workflows, access controls and service responsibilities defined by agreement.

Best suited to organizations seeking a managed service and reduced infrastructure administration.

Customer On-Premises

FACILEX® within your own infrastructure and IT governance.

  • Deployed on supported SharePoint Server Subscription Edition and SQL Server infrastructure.
  • Customer controls servers, networking, identity, infrastructure security and backup services.
  • Gateway provides application installation, configuration, technical guidance and agreed maintenance.
  • Infrastructure and application responsibilities are documented during project planning.

Best suited to organizations with established internal IT operations or specific hosting requirements.

Dedicated Hosting

A separately provisioned hosting environment for your organization.

  • Dedicated Azure-based SharePoint and SQL Server environment.
  • Hosting, access, capacity and service responsibilities tailored to the engagement.
  • Useful when organizational isolation or a dedicated environment is preferred.
  • Gateway provides agreed hosting administration and application support.

Availability, architecture and service levels are established through a separate proposal.

FACILEX® is not offered as a native SharePoint Online deployment. Cloud and on-premises architectures use supported SharePoint Server and SQL Server components. Regulatory suitability and contractual security requirements must be evaluated for each engagement.

Clear responsibilities make hosting and support sustainable.

Gateway works with clients to establish practical responsibilities for infrastructure, identity, data protection, application maintenance, recovery and change control. Specific controls, certifications and service levels are defined contractually rather than assumed from the hosting platform.

One FACILEX® platform. Multiple ways to deploy and support it.

From a focused Proof of Concept to a multi-site production environment, Gateway combines configurable FACILEX® applications with implementation services and an operating model aligned to your organization.
