The Client
Executive PC’s are the client portion of today’ EIS client. State of the art
PCs have the
memory and power to perfo rm
necessary processing on the
desktop, thus relieving the load on the server and host providing rapid response
times.
EIS
software
is
designed
to
run
on
the
state
of
the
art
hardware,
both
client and servers. It is important to realize that executive’s PC
may
need
to
be
upgraded
to
handle
new
release
of
EIS
software.
For
example
PC
should
have
enough RAM so that EIS does not have to be exchanged between the hard drive
and
memory,
thus
decreasing
response
time
