  • SYSPRO 8 Espresso Notification Service

  • Internet Information Services (IIS)

Most mobile devices from the middle of 2017 onwards have sufficient hardware capabilities to run SYSPRO Espresso without any performance problems. Hardware requirements are not determined so much by the application but rather the operating system (and operating system version) installed on the mobile device. Therefore the operating system will have a far greater impact on the performance of the mobile device compared to the SYSPRO Espresso application.

In addition, the speed of the network connection between the mobile device and the Espresso server has an even greater performance impact than the device hardware.

Below are the minimum recommended hardware specifications:

This is only a guideline as mobile devices in a lower spectrum can still perform well within SYSPRO Espresso.
