Back up
We recommend Veritas Backup to backup your SQLServer databases and data files. Veritas Backup V11 and above support SQL Server 2005.
 
Internet
A reliable Internet connection is highly recommended as we often communicate via email and from time to time require you to download updates from our web site. This also enables you to send your listings your own, or any other web site. We can also provide remote login support. ADSL (Broadband) is highly recommended.
 
Software
Edge Advantage integrates with Microsoft Office 97 to 2007. Outlook is required for email integration. If you wish to customise your own reports, then you will need to purchase Crystal Reports V11. Should you wish to produce Microsoft Publisher merges, then you will need Publisher 2007. No prior versions of Publisher will work as they don’t have the required capability to do the merge.
