System Considerations

Before data is extracted, there are hardware and software considerations that impact its efficiency.  Many of these are described in the BackOffice Associates® Solutions Software Requirements and Hardware Sizing Guide. However, it is important to remember these requirements can vary significantly based on the type and scope of a project.  Considerations include:

  • Network hardware and bandwidth (LAN and WAN)
  • Proximity to the data center
  • Number of clients and usage patterns
  • System configuration
  • Database design
