At iplicit, our commitment to providing you with a secure, reliable, and scalable cloud accounting solution starts with the very foundation of our service: Microsoft Azure. We have strategically chosen to build iplicit entirely on Azure, a world-leading cloud computing platform, to ensure we meet the highest standards for your business.

Here’s what our Azure foundation means for you:

  • Robust and Global Infrastructure: Azure provides the powerful and resilient global network of data centres that iplicit operates within. This means you benefit from enterprise-grade infrastructure without needing to invest in or maintain your own on-premise servers. This global reach also allows us to offer services with optimal performance, often by processing data closer to your geographical location.
  • Uncompromising Security: Security is paramount, and Azure offers a formidable security framework. We leverage Azure’s advanced security tools, infrastructure, and expertise to protect your data. This includes sophisticated measures for data encryption (both when it's stored and when it's being transmitted), threat detection, and automated backups. Furthermore, Azure maintains an extensive portfolio of compliance certifications and attestations (like ISO 27001, SOC1 & SOC2, etc.), which helps us in our own efforts to meet stringent regulatory needs, including GDPR.
  • Scalability to Match Your Growth: As your business evolves, your accounting software needs to keep pace. Azure’s inherent scalability allows iplicit to handle varying workloads efficiently, whether you're processing more transactions or adding more users. We can scale our resources up or down as needed, ensuring you always experience high performance and responsiveness without disruption.
  • High Availability and Resilience: We understand that access to your financial data is critical. Azure’s architecture is designed for high availability, utilising features like Availability Zones (physically separate locations within an Azure region with independent power, cooling, and networking) and regional redundancy. This helps us build a resilient service that can withstand many types of failures and supports robust disaster recovery capabilities, ensuring your service can be restored promptly in the event of a major unforeseen event.
  • True Cloud Experience: Being a "true cloud" product built on Azure means you benefit from seamless updates and security fixes. We manage the infrastructure and software updates in the background, so you always have access to the latest features and protections without any effort on your part.

Our decision to use Microsoft Azure is a core part of our strategy to provide you with an exceptional and secure accounting solution. In the sections that follow, we’ll explain in more detail how specific Azure capabilities are integrated into our architecture and processes to protect your data and deliver a service you can trust.
