Encompassing Visions is a three tier application with the presentation layer being the Internet browser, the middle tier residing on the Internet Information Server of Windows Server, and the data residing in a Microsoft SQL Server database.

The installation of the software is completely self-contained in an InstallShield setup. No other installation is required other than preparation of the server hardware with the appropriate operating systems and SQL Server. Software installation assistance and consulting are available during JPS business hours of 8:00am to 4:30pm MST and all technical support issues are automatically escalated to the Manager of Technical Support Services. Software upgrades during the first year following installation are also provided at no additional cost.

When you host the software, Encompassing Visions operates within a local area network or a high speed wide area network. Using HTTPS to encrypt communications is recommended.

When hosted by us, Encompassing Visions operates over the Internet. We force all traffic over HTTPS to ensure your data is encrypted in transit.

Data storage capacity within Encompassing Visions is limited only by the capabilities of the SQL Server database. The application programs, pages and on-line Help screens occupy about 450 megabytes of disk space on the IIS server.
