Set Up and Configuration
The Webforum Platform is highly configurable to your own project needs and you can use as little or much as you need.
Webforum provides support for set up and training where required and in our experience you can often be up and running in hours or days rather than weeks or months with other software.
Are you are using several systems to get the same result and they don’t integrate at all well together?
With Webforum you have one platform where everything is together and data is shared between functions.
