Computer hardware specifications and Windows versions are constantly changing. As a general rule, your computer (laptop or desktop) must run a version of Windows which is actively supported by Microsoft. The hardware specs of your computer, server, and network can vary greatly based on the size of your company as well as what other programs you run. For a small-medium sized office, any Windows computer that you would purchase at Best Buy, Wal-Mart, or online from a vendor such as Dell or HP for around $500 would be more than enough to run WAM. We suggest that you stick with at least the amount of memory (RAM) that Microsoft suggests for the specific version of Windows on your computer. Upgrades such as additional memory and solid state drives are great if they are in your budget, but as far as WAM is concerned, they aren't needed for our software. Hardwired network connections are important. WiFi is not stable or reliable enough for a program with important functions (such as your billing). If you are shopping for new computers or network components, feel free to send us a copy of the specs or a quote and we'll review the options for you.

Remote Access to WAM utilizes a secure connection from your computer to the server (whether the server is in your office, in the cloud, or at a remote office location). A specific port# will be designated by WAM, which needs to be open on the server. The remote users initiate the connection by simply double-clicking their WAM icon, and the WAM program opens without any third part software or connections needed. The server does require a static IP address, or a domain name.

We do require hardwired network connections, as opposed to WiFi, when it comes to setting up a multi-user network within an office. If your server is in your office, as opposed to in the cloud, a dedicated server is required for WAM systems of 3-user or more. Your server and workstations must all run a currently supported version of Microsoft Windows. Gigabit networking and at least the recommended amount of memory (RAM) on each computer is encouraged.

Any recent (full) version of Windows is supported by WAM. 'Full' version means not a mobile version. Windows 10 or Windows Server 2016 for example are great. The version of Windows must be currently supported by Microsoft to be considered stable, secure, and workable. For example, even though Windows XP may still run on your computer, when Microsoft stopped support it a number of years ago, and stopped releasing security patches, it was considered extinct at that point and not recommended.

Not a phone, but a tablet or laptop that runs a full (non-mobile) version of Windows can access WAM if it is on your LAN, or by utilizing WAM remote licenses. WAM Remotes require an internet connection to access the program.

Absolutely! More and more companies are moving their server to the cloud. Note that the cloud server must run a currently supported full version of Windows, have a static IP or DNS, have open ports, and utilize WAM Remote licenses. We don't recomend trying to set up a cloud server for novice users, unless you have a knowledgable I/T heading up the project. Hosted cloud server companies such as AWS, GoDaddy, and RackSpace are common, but the set up and maintenance procedures can be complicated.

Fantastic question! We cannot stress the importance of a reliable and automatic backup enough! WAM's Cloud Backup service is automatic, will do all of your important files (not just WAM), and we regularly monitor your backups for you to ensure they are successful.
If you want to manage your own backup solution, that's fine, but please ensure it is thorough, offsite, working regularly, and there are failsafes in place.

Regarding which files to back up; any file on your network/server shared drive(s) that starts with "WAM". Common folder names would be WAM.32, WAM.EZ, WAM.L2, WAM-IN, WAM-EX, WAMBKUP, etc. Feel free to contact Tech Support to double-check that all of the correct folders and files are being backed up.
