+
+AyaNova is multi-user business software used for all aspects of profitable service management.
+
+The AyaNova program is split into two parts: a "back end" server program and a front end web browser application that the User interacts with.
+
+The back end AyaNova server runs on a single central computer and performs several tasks: it hosts the database that stores your data, the business api layer that handles all the business rules and logic used by the front end for securely creating, retrieving, updating and deleting business records like Work orders, Customers etc.
+
+The back end server also acts as a web server to provide the front end web application to remote Users and handles tasks like rendering reports and storing and serving up any attached files and documents.
+
+All the hard work is done at the AyaNova server and it acts as the "referee" to manage everything going on between multiple Users and ensure all the data entered by Users is stored safely and is consistent and correct.
+
+The "front end" is a modern responsive web application that one or more Users access via the web browser on their smart phone, tablet, PC, smart TV or any other device with a web browser. The front end is designed to be be fast and efficient and adapt it's layout to the dimensions of the display on the device in use.
+
