CONVENIENCE AND MAINTENANCE
Access on careerlink’s side – we can access the website at any time, and if there are difficulties or outages, careerlink can be directly contacted. Very efficient.
Currently – equipment and software is owned and maintained by our site administrator Frank Westmoreland. If we lose access to the server, we have to contact Frank via email, and the problem is resolved when Frank has time. Not very efficient.
