OnlineOffice: Compatibility

Chances are that when you are reading this, everything is in place to use OnlineOffice and compatibility is no issue. Which it isn’t with most of the computers connected to the internet. What you may not know is that many other devices allow you to use OnlineOffice as well.

Here is a little overview of what can be used to run OnlineOffice, so you can really appreciate that the world is your office.

Personal Computer, Mobile or Web-Enabled Devices

Any new or old PC or Apple Mac in desktop or laptop format will do. Web-enabled mobile phones, from any manufacturer like Nokia, Motorola, Sony Ericsson, Siemens or our favorite iPhone from Apple Inc, will do. Many more web-enabled devices with an internet browser will also be able to use OnlineOffice.

Works With Any Current Operating System (OS)

It is pretty much the same story with operating systems (OS), almost anything still in circulation will work for us. Keeping your OS up-to-date is good for your security and functionality. See list below:

  • Apple Mac OS X Version 10.4 and 10.5.
  • Microsoft Windows Vista, XP, 2000, ME, 98
  • Linux Versions from Red Hat, Ubuntu, Debian and others

Works With Any Current Internet Browser

Internet browsers are generally all supported. We develop our software using currently the fastest browser available for Windows and Mac OS X, the Safari browser. Firefox and Opera browsers are perfect to use too. Microsoft’s Internet Explorer 7 does not fully conform to the internationally agreed web-standards, but is still fully supported by us. To keep your internet browser up-to-date is a must for your own security. Find the update links above, updates are free of charge so should be checked frequently.

Minimum System Requirements

A computer should have about 128 MB RAM, hard-disk space if you want to back-up your OnlineOffice data to your computer, video card and monitor with 1024 x 768 pixels resolution at a minimum of 256 colours, you do need an internet connection with a minimum 56kb bandwidth (modem-speed). So as you can see this kind of computer was built about 10+ years ago, anything since then is going to be fine.

Synchronization – Built In

OnlineOffice is a web-application or SaaS – Software as a Service, this means you do not have to worry about your synchronization of data between the different computers and other web-enabled devices you may use. Synchronization is inherent in the technology, which means one less thing for you to worry about.

Works With Your Favorite Boxed Applications.

Our OnlineOffice is fully compatible with most of your favorite applications, like MS Office, iWork, iLife, OpenOffice.org and many other applications. You can back-up all the data to the online File Store within OnlineOffice and other applications.

Accounting data from other software packages like Sage, Quick Books, Iris, MYOB, Mamut and others can be imported via .csv-files. Should you need any assistance we are happy to help.

Works With Your Favorite Online Applications

In the same way other online applications like email services from Google, Yahoo!, Hotmail, MSN, AOL and others can easily be transferred to and accessed from your OnlineOffice. Any web-hosting and domain name services you have elsewhere can be transferred without effort to your OnlineOffice, since all those services are included. Just let us know and we do the rest – easy.

Online applications like PayPal, Skype, Google Checkout and many others are built in to your OnlineOffice as standard, as these fulfill important services and functions for your OnlineOffice use. The safe and easy way to get paid by customers from around the world.

To cut a long story short – no matter what kind of computer, web-enabled mobile phone or device, operating system, internet browser and software – online or offline – you may be using, it will all work beautifully with our OnlineOffice.
