System Requirements for Siebel Proposals

Certain system requirements must be met to use Siebel Proposals.

System Requirements for the Siebel Web Client

To use Siebel Proposals, 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 installed on the Document Server machine.

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

Siebel Proposals uses the Document Server, which is a new component of the Siebel Server that lets users on the Web work with Word documents that are on the server.

Your employees or partners who use Siebel Proposals 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 Proposals is available for the Siebel Remote Web Client as well as for the Siebel Web Client. The user interface for Proposals is identical in the Siebel Remote Web Client and the Web Client.

Siebel Remote Web Client processes requests to generate documents locally, so that field sales representatives can generate correspondences, proposals, and presentations while traveling. To run Siebel Proposals on the Remote Web client, you must have Microsoft Office installed on the same machine as the Remote Web Client.
