The initial installation of Meridian is provided on CD. Software updates and upgrades are provided via email and are also available on our website. Therefore a CD drive and an Internet connection are required.
* We recommend that the server be dedicated to Meridian’s use during critical payroll processes.
Meridian is currently supported on Windows Vista Business.

Payroll systems are data intensive applications and a minimum network bandwidth of 100 Mbps is needed. For a WAN environment, clients should consider using Microsoft Terminal Services or Citrix.
Note: Meridian is not certified to run in Linux and Novell servers, but can be installed on a Novell network.
