Certain system requirements must be met to use Siebel Presentations.

System Requirements for the Siebel Web Client

To use Siebel Presentations, you must have:

• All of the components that are required to use the Siebel application installed on the server, such as a Siebel Server and a Web Server.
• The Document Server installed on one or more Windows machines.
• Microsoft Office.

NOTE:  If you are deploying the Siebel Server in UNIX and want to use Presentations, a separate Windows machine is required for the Document Server.

Siebel Presentations uses the Document Server, which is a component of the Siebel Server which lets users on the Web work with Word, and PowerPoint documents on the server.

For more information on installing the components required to use the Siebel application, see Siebel Installation Guide for the operating system you are using.

Your employees or partners who use Siebel Presentations need:

• A Web browser to use the product.
• Optionally, Microsoft Office to edit documents.

For information on the Web browsers that are supported by Siebel applications, see System Requirements and Supported Platforms on Siebel SupportWeb.

System Requirements for the Siebel Remote Web Client

Siebel Presentations is available for the Siebel Remote Web Client as well as for the Siebel Web Client. The user interface for Presentations is identical in the Siebel Remote Web Client and the Siebel Web Client.

Siebel Remote Web Client processes requests to generate documents locally, so field sales representatives can generate correspondences, proposals, and presentations when they are out of the office. To run Siebel Presentations on the Siebel Remote Web Client, you must have Microsoft Office installed on the same machine as the Siebel Remote Web Client.
