Network

On Premise Installations Abacus Private Cloud Installations

For wireless access, wireless network must be of high quality and reliability.

Workstation
Network connection to Results Server

On Premise Network

1mbps down/1mbps up transmission rate

Successful use of Client’s APC Environment requires a properly routed internet connection that can reliably sustain a sub 100 millisecond (ms) response time between the network that Client’s APC Compatible Device is connected to and Client’s Abacus Private Cloud Server.
Where more than one of Client’s Abacus Private Cloud users are trying to connect to Client’s Abacus Private Cloud server through the same internet connection concurrently, there must be a minimum of 1Mbps/1Mbps dedicated to each one of those users. As used herein, the above stated connectivity requirement shall be referred to as a “Reliable Connection,” and it shall be Client’s sole responsibility to obtain a Reliable Connection.
Abacus works with multiple upstream providers to ensure that Client has multiple paths through which an internet connection may be routed to Client’s APC Environment. Abacus cannot control how Client’s Internet Service Provider(s) routes its internet traffic. As such, In the event of latency in Client’s internet connection to Client’s APC Environment, it shall be Client’s sole responsibility to ensure that Client’s Internet Service Provider(s) adequately routes Client’s internet connection. The fact that Client is unable to resolve the latency in Client’s internet connection to Client’s APC Environment shall not constitute “for cause” for purposes of terminating Client’s APC Subscription. It is further recommended that that Client have multiple upstream internet service providers to avoid performance issues caused by a single point of failure.

Integration with both 64-bit and 32-bit Microsoft Exchange is supported. 2 If using Office 2016 with an Office 365 subscription, integration requires a full, installed Office application. No support for integration with online only subscriptions (such as Office 365 Business Essentials) 3 Integration with older versions that are no longer supported by their applicable third-party vendor (e.g. Word 2003, WordPerfect 10) will likely continue to work with Results but have not been tested with Results 2017 or later. Technical Support for links with unsupported third-party products is limited. 4 QuickBooks with ResultsCRM supports US & Canadian Windows versions. QuickBooks supports US Windows versions only.
