This might lead in the break through into the main server. If the main server is being tampered, it leads to breakage in the clients’ server. The clients cannot access AS network and causes the work to a standstill. The possibility of this occurring is low but the consequences of it are severe. Another problem with the present AS software configuration is that they do not have their data replicated. They do have a backup but having their data replicated at the onsite plant is more important. If they lose their data, to decrypt their data from the backup might take them days or even weeks. This makes them to hold on to their advancements till they get the data back and thereby making the work standstill at the clients place. To avoid this, AS must be using PLEX, an invisible hard drive in the main server which holds the database of the company. Recovering data from this is done in minutes and the main advantage of this is that no one can authorize the plex except the administrator. Finally, adoption of a third party software vendor delays the time in authorizing your software solutions.
