Using a centralised data management system enables sharing of
information in a multi-user environment, both on local and wide
area networks (LAN/WAN). Unlike spreadsheets and many
home made databases, access is controlled and auditable.
The MP-5 client is designed to operate over both local and
wide area networks. MP-5.Web runs through a web browser and is also
designed for remote connections.
Use of MP-5 over a reasonable WAN is perfectly acceptable
because it summarises data on the server tier by default and there
client receives only the required information. WAN use is the modus
operandi for a significant proportion of our installations.
For many operations, speed over a dedicated 256 kbps WAN will be
only marginally different from a LAN. Even on shared lines with
lower bandwidth MP-5 will often perform perfectly
satisfactorily.
MP-5 is also compatible with Citrix and Remote desktop.
