NetPartner Hardware Recommendations

Back to NetPartner Product Page


There are two ways to install and run the NetPartner ERP software package:

  1. The traditional in-house Client/ Server approach
  2. Web Services model. With Web Services, all you need is an Internet connection and an office filled with networked computers -probably what you have already.
See below for hardware recommendations for both models.
