Osiris Funeral Management System

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q. Will Osiris FMS run on my PC System/Network?
A. Osiris FMS is designed to run on most modern PC Systems running one of the following operating systems
Osiris 3 will run on:

• Microsoft Windows 95, 98, 2000, Millenium Edition, or XP
• Microsoft Windows NT4 Server (with all SPs), 2000 Server (at least SP1) , 2003 Server
• Novell Netware Server OS v.3.12 or higher

The recommended minimum PC Specification is Intel Pentium II or higher with 128Mb RAM, an SVGA graphics card and monitor running at a resolution of 800x600 or higher, with a CD-ROM and a 2Gb HDD with a reasonable amount of free space (program is approximately 15Mb, but larger swap file will allow for better performance). However we would suggest that 256Mb RAM or higher offers a far greater level of performance. Printed outpu can be to any printer that is supported by the operating system, although a good quality laser or ink jet printer is recommended for the best quality print.

Q. Will Osiris FMS integrate with my existing applications?

Q. Can I design my own letters and reports?
A. Osiris FMS offers a set of comprehensive templates for a variety of documents and reports all of which can be modified by you to generate your customised output. Using the report explorer/editor you can create whole new templates to suit your exact requirements. During the trial period, and up to 60 days after you purchase, we offer a free document and report customisation service. Subsequently, we may make a small nominal charge for changes, at our discretion.

Q. What about program updates?
A. Osiris 4 can be configured to automatically check for updates and install them from the internet. All updates are free to everyone during the trial period and the first year after purchase. Subsequently updates are free to those customers who have purchased an annual support registration. If you don’t have an internet connection, you may request to receive updates on CD.(Internet updates are available as soon as they are released. CD updates are published twice a year, if available. Osiris 3 is no longer under development, so no updates are issued, but you may upgrade to Osiris 4 at any time by paying the difference in purchase price.
