FitnessGram Enterprise System Requirements Preliminary
The FitnessGram Enterprise version is intended to be used by teachers without requiring any software to
be installed in individual schools or on individual computers. It does this by making all FitnessGram
functions available using an Internet browser, accessing district and/or school owned web servers that
run the FitnessGram software.
This document is intended to be used as a guide for estimating the server hardware that will be required
by a client that plans to implement the FitnessGram Enterprise edition.
