ABC is offered as an online service, accessed through the Internet using LINK, Warren & Selbert's free communications package.  All that is needed to access our computer system in Santa Barbara is a PC with LINK installed, and an Internet connection.

Evaluations are run on Warren & Selbert's high-speed computer systems, built specifically for ABC.  These machines are regularly updated with the latest computer technology.

Remote access security is ensured through individual security certificates and username/password authentication. In addition, all data is transmitted through an encrypted Internet connection.

Data security is ensured through the use of multiple computers, RAID for file storage, multiple network lines and equipment to different ISPs, and automated weekly and daily tape backups, some of which are stored off site.

ABC can be accessed simultaneously by many users authorized to use a single account, and is not limited to a single PC.  It is also possible to run multiple ABC sessions on one PC; this is convenient when comparing results from two different files.

Clients can receive assistance from Warren & Selbert without first having to email or upload the file they are working on.

Warren & Selbert's computer system always runs the most up-to-date version of ABC, so clients have instant access to the latest enhancements without needing to reinstall or update software themselves.
