That’s because here at Abtrac we understand that no two businesses are the same, so we have given you the flexibility to choose between our 32 and 64 bit Windows desktop version or the Cloud-based solution. |
| AbtracOnLine in the cloud Log in from your mobile device or desktop and run Abtrac online anytime with the cloud version. |

| Being desktop based there are a few more technical hardware and software requirements for setting up Abtrac 5. | Because it’s cloud AbtracOnLine is ready to go now. All you need is a contemporary device with access to the internet. |
| It’s worth taking the time to read through our roll out plan or talking with one of the support team to ensure there are no delays once you’ve made the decision to go live with Abtrac 5. | (Although if we were being fussy our geeks do recommend you run Abtrac 6 in Google Chrome- it’s the fastest browser available – and you may as well use the best, right?) |

Here we have included notes on the requirements for an Abtrac server installation.
The Abtrac development team aren’t server setup specialists but we do work with a large number of IT professionals installing and configuring Abtrac for client sites. We’ve also canvassed some of the IT professionals with whom we work and included some suggestions we’ve received to ensure Abtrac runs as smoothly as possible.
