Project offices and project stakeholders have all the tools and information to make better decisions around management of any program of works. More than a cost control system, WebCert provides a "single source of truth" to how your capital projects are tracking, providing the facilities to schedule and report on progress identifying likely issues and risks ahead of time.
WebCert provides the tools to deliver total transparency to all facets of managing your projects within a secure and controlled environment.
- Track project progress costs
- Manage project variations and contingency funds fully supported with accompanying documentation
- Set Cashflow Forecasts and track against actual costs reporting on just your construction costs or across your whole project
- Complete monthly progress assessments in a consistent manner communicating what is most important to your stakeholders
- Flexible consolidated reporting across all your programs of work
- Independent verification reporting and analysis
- Many other features that ensure the integrity of data captured and how it is reported.
Offshore DBMS Back-Up
In addition to the offshore replicated database server, the master DBMS server in itself will have regular backups automatically written to a backup server also located offshore.
The diagram below shows how data is backed up to the Singapore BACKUP server
Australian DBMS Back-Up
The WebCert system is run from servers, both web and database, in Australia. To ensure that no data is lost due to any failure in the main servers, all systems and databases are fully replicated on a separate backup server also located in Australia from which the WebCert and its related databases can be fully or partially recovered as required.

Offshore Failover DBMS
As part of our system redundancy ensuring that WebCert is continually available, we have a fallover system in place with a separate data link should anything cause the primary system to be inaccessible.
The "fallover" database is located offshore connected via an inactive data link that will automatically switch over should there be any loss of the primary link to the systems databases.
This is illustrated in the following diagram.
Google Cloud Platform (AU)
The new version of WebCert is underpinned by the latest technology by way of system architecture and information management systems offering a fully managed “Software As A Service” (SaaS).
The system will be located on Google servers with full replication of the system in Australia and overseas with failover redundancy capability should one of the systems become unavailable.
The benefits of this will reduce system down time whilst being fully protected by the rigorous systems in place under the management of Google, providing clients confidence in the security and protection of their data.
Google Cloud Platform (GCP) is a collection of Google’s computing resources, made available via services to the general public as a public cloud offering.
The GCP resources consist of physical hardware infrastructure computers, hard disk drives, solid state drives, and networking contained within Google’s globally distributed data centers, where any of the components are custom designed using patterns similar to those available in the Open Compute Project.
This hardware is made available to customers in the form of virtualized resources, such as virtual machines (VMs), as an alternative to customers building and maintaining their own physical infrastructure.
As a public cloud offering, software and hardware products are provided as integrated services that provide access to the underlying resources. GCP offers over 50 services including Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), and Software as a Service (SaaS) offerings in the categories of Compute, Storage & Databases, Networking, Big Data, Machine Learning, Identity & Security, and Management & Developer tools.
These services can be used independently or in combination for developers and IT professionals to construct their own, custom cloud-based infrastructure.
Offshore Google Cloud Platform
The WebCert system as hosted in Australia is fully replicated on Google's Cloud Data Centre in Singapore through Google's multi-regional storage framework.
This means that WebCert data is stored redundantly, with automatic checksums to ensure data integrity. With multi-regional storage, it is geo-redundant, which means cloud storage stores WebCert's data redundantly in at least two regions within the multi-regional location of the bucket. As it pertains to WebCert and Google Cloud hosting, this ensures we will never lose your data, even in the case of a disaster.
Inactive Fallback Data Link
This data link remains inactive until such time the primary data link between WebCert and its databases becomes available.
The link is between Australia and Google's Singapore Cloud Data Centre where "fallover' servers are in place as a full replication of the Australian system.
Semi-Synchronous DBMS Replication
This data link ensure that the Australian Master servers are fully replicated to the offshore "fallover' servers located in Google's Cloud Data Centre in Singapore
Offshore DBMS Backup
This link is used to maintain a separate offshore backup server for the WebCert databases.
This is in addition to the backup server located in Australia thus providing an additional level of data redundancy and protection
AU Web Servers and DBMS
The master WebCert server, databases and backups are all hosted within Google's Cloud Platform Data Centre in Sydney.
Utilising the latest technology by way of system architecture and information management systems offering a fully managed “Software As A Service” (SaaS) delivered out of Google Cloud Platform, WebCert also provides failover redundancy capability should the systems become unavailable connecting to a duplicate system in the Singapore data center for Google Cloud Platform.
The benefits of this will reduce system down time whilst being fully protected by the rigorous systems in place under the management of Google, providing clients confidence in the security and protection of their data.
