How to Use This Guide

The best way to use this guide depends on whether someone has already installed Project WebSynergy software for you to explore or whether you want to install WebSynergy yourself.

• If WebSynergy has already been installed by someone else — Skip the installation chapter and jump ahead to Chapter 3, Using Project WebSynergy Software to start using WebSynergy right away. Most users fall into this category. WebSynergy is browser-based, so if someone has given you the address to use for a WebSynergy installation, you can just point your browser to it and you do not need to install anything on your system.

• If you want to install WebSynergy yourself — If you are a system administrator, application developer, or general user who wants to install WebSynergy for yourself or your organization, start with Chapter 2, Installation and Configuration.

Whichever kind of user you are, it is recommended that you read the remainder of this chapter to get a sense of what WebSynergy is and what it can do for your organization.
