We are an online, cloud based PM software company, so you don’t need to download or install anything. A laptop, desktop or tablet connected to Internet is all you need ( we recommend 2 GHz for processor speed and 2 GB for RAM ). We support different browses (IE, Firefox, Chrome, Safari) but Chrome is preferred for its speed and its ability to stay up to date with security updates. We also recommend that you have a decent wireless connection (5MBPS or better).
