What makes Evolution different from the other systems in the industry?
Most other national providers offer browser-based applications, which have severe limitations. They become limited as to what actions they can perform due to programming restrictions within a browser environment. In addition, there are inherent security concerns when entering your information through a browser. Evolution uses thin-client technology to eliminate these concerns.

What are the advantages to Evolution's thin-client technology?
With Evolution's thin-client architecture, there is a small application installed on your PC, but all of the data resides on our servers. When you log into Evolution, you are securely accessing your data in real-time as if you were sitting at a PC in our office. Since Evolution is running a small application there are no programming limitations, which allows us to provide you with the tools you need to manage your employees and payroll.
