Information Worker

Does Information Worker absolutely require a domain based server or has anyone been able to successfully install on a standalone setup?

Does anyone have any experience with the interface set up between Vantage and Information Worker or any information of how you are using Information Worker?

Is anybody using information worker? We are considering using it but,
would like some feedback on how it is working in other companies. We are
looking for feedback on performance, how easy is it to use, are you
realizing any productivity gains, and most of all what do you like or
dislike about it. We are a manufacturing companies using many of
Epicor Vantage modules. Thanks for any input you can provide.

After we went live with Epicor 9, IW was one of my goals. As you know, IW
requires Portal and Service Connect (Run time for the built-in functions).
Portal requires a non-Express version of SQL Server 2005+. We have a full
2000 but not 2005 at the moment and nobody is happy about spending more
money that's not absolutely necessary these days.

Sorry I can't give you more because it is something that I'm very interested
in. I did attend the IW sessions at Perspectives 2008. Setup is critical.
You have to get many things set up correctly to play well.

Training is also an issue. If you sync all customers, orders, invoices,
etc., you may be waiting for a long time. Users should be taught to pull
down what they need as they need it.

Thank for the feedback..... Will let you know if we go forward with it.
