Effective May 1st, we are changing our approach to creating team and enterprise solutions.? In the past, we have configured these solutions using a combination of ManagePro Team and Solo licenses.? Although we will continue to support existing installations, going forward, our team and enterprise solutions will be configured around either: (1) ManagePro Team web-enabled and MProWeb or (2) MProWeb only options.
Let's go over briefly why we've made the change:?
1. We've upgraded the capability of MProWeb so much that it has taken over the role of ManagePro Solo in enterprise functions.? Not only has MProWeb replaced Solo, it improves upon Solo significantly as an easy to use, easy to maintain, installation-free (at the desktop level) tool that's as easy to use for 1,000 as it is for 10.?
2. The back-end database for MProWeb and ManagePro Team (when web-enabled) is Microsoft SQL, which gives us much better expandability and durability.? The existing ManagePro database that you open with ManagePro team, becomes an auxiliary database to communicate with the MPro-Link SQL database.?
3. Our new application provides a flexible installation choice, allowing our team and enterprise solution to be operated as either an internet application (hosted over the web) or intranet application (hosted internally within your firewall).?
Let's go over how the typical team or enterprise installation is now configured and priced.
1. Typically management elects to use a web-enabled ManagePro Team version 
installed on their local laptop or desktop PC,
with direct reports using MProWeb. ?
This connects to a MS SQL database via our MPro-Link middleware on either PST's server (PST hosts your application) or your server.?
?
?
?
2. As an alternative, option two is defined by all users (including management) using MProWeb.? Again the MPro-Link middleware and SQL db can be either hosted by PST or by the individual organization.? Hosting it internally allows organizations to operate MProWeb inside their firewall as an intranet application.

In looking at either option, one of the immediate questions is, "Why use ManagePro Team versus MProWeb?"? Well, from a management position, here's the short list from which to make a decision:
1. If you need to be able to work without being hooked up to the internet, then you need Team. (e.g. need to work anywhere, where you don't have access to high speed internet capability, including while traveling, in someone else's office or at home).
2. If you need to assign and manage resource allocation, it's only available in the Team version.
3. If you need to take advantage of the wide range of people management and annual review capabilities in ManagePro, you need to use the Team version, as only a limited number of those features are found in MProWeb.
