Internet
To ensure a quality Jim2.Cloud experience, reliable high speed internet access is required.

For a larger quantity of users, an understanding of current internet speeds and other local internet usage factors should be discussed with your company IT provider and a Happen technical representative.
Cloud Install
For PC users, Happen Business provides the Jim2.Cloud RemoteApp Client.
For Mac users, install Microsoft Remote Desktop available at the App Store.
For Android/iOS users, install Microsoft Remote Desktop from the appropriate app store.

A stable network is required by Jim2.

An Office 365 subscription that supports use within a cloud environment is required. Office ProPlus is required to activate Office 365 for use within the cloud.

If the Office 365 Subscription is not a compatible edition or is only a standard version of Office locally installed, please note that Office documents will need to be saved to the local PC before they can be viewed (other than basic preview) or edited. Spreadsheets cannot be exported from Jim2.Cloud with these versions.
Peripherals
It is recommended that every workstation has access to a printer (shared through network or locally installed), as a printer is required to generate and preview reports from Jim2.
