Hosted System Requirements
These specifications are intended strictly as a guideline. They were developed in an environment free from network congestion, resource contention, and aggressive security measures. Consider the minimum requirements applicable only if your workstations use a minimally configured and supported operating system, a minimally configured virus scanner, and only this Savvas application. See SuccessMaker System Requirements Overview for additional information.
