Criteria
Criteria is based on a typical Microsoft Windows home or business user where activities include: browsing the web with Chrome, editing Microsoft Office documents with LibreOffice, communicating with team members with Microsoft Teams and a headset, listening to required training with blue tooth headphones, scanning documents requiring physical signatures, printing documents, locking the computer per company policy, and preventing screen burn in of company monitors with a screen blank. Home and business users expect a Windows like start menu. Laptop users expect the ability to sleep/suspend the computer and that it will work with a KVM switch. Home and Business users are expected not to use the terminal. Chrome is the industry standard for internal business web applications. |
