 Requirements

 
Question 1
Is the software Windows 2000/XP/Vista compatible?
 
 
 
 
Answer...
Yes. Any PC that has Internet Explorer with the relevant permissions to access the web server.
 
 
 
 
Question 2
Are there any special requirements for accessing the system?
 
 
 
 
Answer...
No software needs to be installed on the client machine to access the system. (Assuming Internet Explorer is already installed.)
 
 
 
 
Question 3
Can the software be fully deployed within a specific Company/Organisation?
 
 
 
 
Answer...
Yes. However, the Company/Organisation would require a licensed version of SQL Server 2005/2008 Workgroup Edition, Standard Edition or Enterprise Edition. We recommend the processor license for the Workgroup Edition as this provides all the functionality required with unlimited users.
Alternatively, we can offer the ability to deploy our system to function on Oracle if required.
 
 
 
 
Question 4
Is the application scalable if required?
 
 
 
 
Answer...
Scalability is dependent on the web server hardware. e.g. number of processors etc!
 
 
 
 
Question 5
What is the maximum number of connections that can be supported?
 
 
 
 
Answer...
The number of concurrent connections is constrained by the hardware that the database and web application are deployed on. A standard configuration server e.g. (Intel Pentium 4 3GHz 2mb cache, 500GB SATA etc) would happily support 500 users assuming a maximum of 100 concurrent users at any one time.

Can the software operate between sites if required?
 
 
 
 
Answer...
Web application access via intranet, extranet and internet may be configured by the web server administrator as required.
 
 
 
 
Question 2
Is there any chance of loss of data?
 
 
 
 
Answer...
This is minimised due to performing regular backups (twice daily) both onsite and offsite. To date, we have suffered no loss.
