I work in a large corporate environment. We have held off installing the latest p6 version because IT guys are generally not familiar with the software and i am not knowledge on the MS/SQL etc environment. We currently have the Enterprise/Web version but mainly use the P6 Professional environment. We only use the Web environment to set up the EPS - that is it. I need to spec what we want, - any advise and is there any advantages to using the cloud version, logging in from home would be the only advantage I can think of. My current computer is serving as the server, the IT department said they want to put in on a dedicated server machine - any advice regarding that as well?
