However, the concept is much larger since there are different types of services. Here we focus on the mode in which Viafirma offers its services, <strong>SaaS<\/strong>.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Its exact definition is <strong>SaaS (Software as a Service)<\/strong>. This is a software distribution model where the company serves the maintenance, support and operation that clients will use during the time that has been contracted the service. The client will use the system hosted by the company, which will keep customer information in their systems and will provide the necessary resources to exploit that information.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">But, what kind of applications does Viafirma have in the cloud?<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\r\n<li>Viafirma Platform: <strong>Authentication and electronic signature platform<\/strong> based on the use of electronic certificates with the <strong>highest level of security<\/strong>.

Besides this, with Viafirma Mobile SDK, native mobile applications can be integrated with the mobile electronic signature client and therefore with Viafirma Platform, allowing users to provide <strong>authentication and advanced and recognized electronic signing<\/strong>, thanks to our<strong> Viafirma SmartCard Reader <\/strong>which offers fully support for the Spanish electronic ID for <strong>iPhone and iPad<\/strong>.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>You can check statistics on the platform usage like what kind of operating system users are using, kind of browser or device thanks to Viafirma Manager.
