Service constraints
DatixCloudIQ has been designed to provide limited downtime and therefore upgrades and maintenance windows will be heavily reduced. Customers will be duly notified if a maintenance window is to be scheduled which causes downtime. It is advised that the preferred method of access would be to connect to Active Directory which will then require up keep from the local IT team. This is to ensure absolute security of who can access the DatixCloudIQ Services, but local registration is possible without the need to access the Active Directory.
