spend less, do more
by Jim Yarrow
FCIS excels above a groupwise solution in the following ways:
cross-platform server can run on windows NT server, or less expensive windows NT workstation or on mac OS. a UNIX server is under development
modest system requirements (windows): minimum system requirements start with an 80486 processor (pentium recommended), NT server or workstation, 4.0 recommended, 12 MB available ram (32 MB recommended for busy systems), and 12 MB free disk space, plus additional storage for mail and user data.
modest system requirements (mac os): 68040 processor or PowerPC (PowerPC recommended), system 7.1 or later (7.5.x or later recommended), 12 MB ram on 68k machines, 16 MB ram on PowerPC (32 MB recommended for busy systems), and 12 MB free disk space, plus additional storage for mail and user data. MacTCP 2.0.6 or Open Transport 1.1.2 (or higher)
manageability: doesn't require a dedicated administrator, can be administered from any client-accesible computer; administrators can set disk quota limits for users
access email and conferences either online or offline
synchronous, real-time collaboration/communication
discussion groups are fully controllable with permissions, and can be moderated
scalability: over 100,000 users have been known to connect to one FCIS server and the system can support over 250,000 users
