Q – If I run INVE$TFOLIO on DCV's SaaS server, are the system requirements?

All you need is a connection to the internet. You’ll get optimal results if you use:

  • Internet Explore 6.0 for Windows and beyond or
  • Firefox 1.5 for Windows and beyond

Q – If I run INVE$TFOLIO on my company’s server, what are the system requirements?

Server requirements:
INVE$TFOLIO requires a web compatible server application with a "Java Servlet 2.4." The majority of recent Java web servers are compatible, including :

  • Apache Tomcat (5.0 and up)
  • IBM Websphere (5.0 and up)
  • BEA WebLogic (9.0 and up)
  • Oracle Application Server (10.0 and up)

If your organization already uses a Java Web server, INVE$TFOLIO can be downloaded directly onto your server. If you choose to install an independent web server for INVE$TFOLIO, we recommend Apache Tomcat.

Database requirements:
INVE$TFOLIO is based on Java's JDBC technology, and can be run on a variety of databases. The majority of industry databases that support JDBC technologies include:

  • Oracle
  • SQL Server, including MySQL
  • DB2

If your organization already has a database, INVE$TFOLIO can usually connect easily to your existing database.

Q – How secure is my corporate data if it resides in DCV's INVE$TFOLIO repository?

Your information is as secure as the most protected internet banking sites. We work hard to safeguard your confidential information and privacy when dealing with us online. A secure login process, strong encryption (i.e. 256 bytes SSL certificates with backward compatibility 128 + 40), and firewalls, are some of the steps we take to protect your information. Customers also have the option of increasing security by purchasing higher encryption certificates.

Q – What is the typical implementation time for INVE$TFOLIO?

With the SaaS feature, you can be up and running within minutes. However, the time required to configure the INVE$TFOLIO suite to the specific requirements of your organization can vary, and depends on:

  • The size, complexity, and existing processes in your organization;
  • How many INVE$TFOLIO modules your company is using;
  • If you have a PMO (Project Management Office) in place;
  • If you already have an investment lifecycle process in place;

Q – Can I only use a few components of INVE$TFOLIO instead of the whole suite of products?

The INVE$TFOLIO performance management suite is available only as a complete solution. Therefore, as part of your INVE$TFOLIO investment, you will receive access to I-D-FOLIO, SELECTFOLIO, B ON TRACK, PROFIT$ and PORTFOLIO.

Q – Can the reports within the INVE$TFOLIO suite be customized to my company’s particular needs?

Yes, in a given framework, INVE$TFOLIO's reports are entirely customizable. The reports can even be generated directly by the user in Word.

Q – What are the export and import capacities of INVE$TFOLIO? Can I import spreadsheets or data that we currently use into the appropriate INVE$TFOLIO suite?

Export capabilities are built-in the application to ease the interface between Excel and Ms Project. INVE$TFOLIO uses a table format for collecting and presenting data, making it possible for the user to export data to an Excel spreadsheet with a simple click of a mouse.

The import capabilities are also possible within a pre-defined framework. Customized procedures can be developed for particular requirements.

Q – Does INVE$TFOLIO have an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) integration capability?

Yes. INVE$TFOLIO includes interface software that allows the user to manage many applications such as resources, suppliers, purchase orders and more. The open architecture allows the integration of multiple systems within an organization. Instead of manually uploading data, the data can be downloaded from your existing system. The specific parameters must however be defined with the client’s collaboration.
