you are going to use our SaaS offering then the client machines
only need to support a current IE, Firefox or Safari
browser.

or another server in the same domain, depending on your existing
infrastructure.
NovusAGENDA is a three-tier application that consists of:
- The core engine for workflows and item processing,
which are fundamental to the application
- The specific capabilities relevant to processing board agendas
and minutes.
