Q:
|
Can I install the product on multiple machines?
|
|
A:
|
Typically you will not have to or want to. As an Intranet, the product is run from a Web Server and is accessed from
people's desktops via a Web Browser. The typical setup is to install and configure the product on one machine and then
everyone accesses the product from that machine. This being said, the license agreement allows for installation on
multiple machines if necessary.

|
Q:
|
On what platforms can I install the product?
|
|
A:
|
The product can only be installed on Windows NT 4.0 or Windows 2000. You will typically want to install the product on a
Server version of the operating system. You can install the product on Windows NT 4.0 Workstation or Windows 2000
Professional; however, Microsoft limits these operating systems to 10 active connections, which can be limiting for use
as a Web Server.

|
Q:
|
What do I need to install on the clients?
|
|
A:
|
Typically nothing. All that is required on the client is a relatively modern Web Browser. We require Microsoft Internet
Explorer version 4.0 or greater or Netscape Navigator version 4.0 or greater. If the client already has a Web Browser
install, there is nothing more to do.

|
|
Q:
|
On what clients can I run the product?
|
|
A:
|
The product actually runs on a Windows NT (or Windows 2000) Web Server. However, you can access the product from any
client machine that has a version 4.0 or greater Web Browser. For example, the following are possible clients from which
you would be able to access the product:
-
Internet Explorer on a Windows platform

Internet Explorer on a Mac

Q:
|
How long does it take to install and implement your software?
|
|
A:
|
The product is installed using a setup program that will be familiar to Windows users. To install all the prerequisite
software, install the product and perform the post installation configuration should take no more than 1 hour.
The main implementation tasks are to configure the software with company defaults and add all the employees who will use
the system. In addition, each employee must be configured to specify work hours, vacation balances, accrual rates, etc.
For a company with 200 employees, the entire Intranet system could be up and running within one day.
