If you are using an on-premise Softrip instance, note that there are some core responsibilities that will fall on your IT team to manage, maintain, monitor, secure, and troubleshoot.
Your Responsibilities
Maintenance Tasks
Standard maintenance tasks for your servers and applications are your responsibility to set up, maintain, and monitor.
Database
Database maintenance tasks such as data backups, log backups and truncation, and other standard maintenance tasks are your responsibility. Softrip has a standard set of recommendations that you may choose to follow here:

SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS)
SSRS is the reporting platform used by Softrip for all reports and documents (e.g. Invoices and Travel Documents/Vouchers). Maintaining, monitoring, securing, and troubleshooting SSRS is your responsibility.
Documentation on Softrip’s use of SSRS and setup recommendations are available here:

Mail Server Configuration
To set up and maintain the SMTP integration in your Softrip instance (for automated emails from queues and supplier messaging for example), make sure you have the correct setup on your mail server and in Softrip settings. More information can be seen here:
Troubleshooting Mail Server Settings and Errors
OS and Software Updates
Softrip applications run on Windows Server. Your server instances (VMs) are your responsibility to maintain and keep up to date with regularly-scheduled patching and updates. In addition, it is your responsibility to apply updates to supporting software such as MS SQL Server and Redis.
Redis Configuration
Securing, maintaining, and monitoring your Redis instance is your responsibility.
Logs and Attachment Retention
It is your responsibility to set up data retention in line with your own company’s policy. Softrip has some tools and recommendations available for Softrip-specific files available here:
Logs and Attachments - Retention and Archiving
Monitoring
Ensure you have the proper mechanisms and assignments in place for monitoring all aspects of the applications, network resources, and machines that host your on-premise Softrip instance.
