    What truly makes XEditPro a robust and future-proof solution is a combination of the following:

  • Business rule engine that allows enhancements to be implemented easily.

  • Scalability using cloud load balancing techniques
  • Advanced security using ACL and IP address-based restriction
  • A modern UI/UX
