EDITIONS
Promoter is available in three main editions.
Reader
This version can read Promoter files. The user can view and print out the input basis and the results. However, it does not contain the calculation engine. It is appropriate for parties wishing to view the basis for the model and the results; and to print out the results.
Workstation (Developer and Investor)
This version is installed on a single machine. The software reads Promoter files and the user can alter the inputs and carry out the what-if analyses, then save the project.
The single project version provides some ability to re-configure the model supplied by the licensor.
The multiple project version allows the user to invoke the project wizard and to set up and re-configure new projects in those industries for which he has a licence.
The Workstation version is more appropriate to a smaller corporation evaluating no more than a few projects in a year.
Enterprise (Developer and Investor)
This version is used on a client/server system with the projects generated from and saved to a suitable database on the server. Multiple users can create and configure new projects and save them to the database. Some of the key input data such as the price forecasts can be set by the administrator only. This feature ensures consistency across a multitude of projects composed by different users within the organization. The user can also save his project to a Promoter (.pro extension) file. This version is particularly suited to larger corporations with more than one modeller, each building one or more models in a year.
