It can also be used over the internet as a Software as a service, communicating with a database hosted by the company. The program is organised as a series of modules, the most important of which are for employee functions such as clocking in and out, and for administration which includes facilities such as report production and employee messaging. An early version of the program was noted for working well on low-powered computers, even though it was capable of dealing with up to 10,000 employees. In early 2011 it was being used by 50,000 companies in America. ==History== TimeClock Plus was developed in 1988 as a program written in DOS and several versions were released up to 1994, with one in 1999 to fix the year 2000 problem. Versions were also written for SCO UNIX and IBM AIX. The first version for Microsoft Windows was released in 1994. Until 2005, the software used a Dbase compatible database, but from version 5.0, it changed to Microsoft SQL. In 2006 the first web version was released as a simple, scaled down version of 5.0 for Windows. This removed the necessity of a client installation and also made the system available to Macintosh users for the first time. In 2008 a complete web version of 5.0 for Windows was introduced. In 2010 web version 3.0 was released with all the functionality of 6.0 for Windows. Later, TimeClock Plus Hybrid was released, which allowed 3.0 for Web and 6.0 for Windows to operate together. This was followed by the SaaS model, TimeClock Plus OnDemand, which allows subscribers to use the application on a database hosted by Data Management Inc. at a SAS 70 compliant data center with encrypted data transmission and daily backups.〔Data Management Inc.
