Vision & Apple products

            Using Vision with an Apple product is possible but there are certain limitations and requirements for this kind of setup.

            First, we will not support any Apple product, iPad, iPhone or laptop, for various reasons. Accountability, warranty limitations, connection issues and platform compatibility just to name a few. If for any reason there is an issue with the machine in question you will have to speak to a certified Apple technician per their requirements.

            Secondly, knowing that the majority of the network connections with these devices will be wireless we cannot promise the quality of these connections. A local or in house technician will have to setup and maintain this network.

            Thirdly, when it comes to iPads the screen is obviously smaller than normal. Thus the actual feasibility of using a screen of that size with the fonts and windows inside is going to be dependent upon the user.

            Beyond those areas there is a way for Vision to run on an Apple product in a comfortable environment so that the data and program are reliable and secure. This is done through remote desktop access to a local server. Microsoft has designed a remote desktop app for Apple products that works very well. This renders the type of host operating system moot since the program and data run on its own machine away from the connecting machine. This app is free for download from the Apple store.

            The server that Vision will be stored on will be a Windows machine that can only be accessed remotely. All printers to be used for Vision will have to be installed locally on the server. This is to promote better speed and reliability for the print jobs as well as to overcome the incompatibility issues with drivers among the systems. There will be licensing and setup for the remote desktop role on the server and then remote access granted to either the desktop or a specific application, like Vision, for each user in the system.

            We do offer a server solution that takes care of all of these items. It is totally setup, configured and maintained by Pluss. We are responsible for the machines maintenance, operation and upkeep. This keeps the data safe, responsive and away from harm due to virus or malware attacks. It is backed up every day in 3 different places so you can recover from disasters faster.
