Why is it important to know how many users connect to SIMS?

Capita recommend that a Windows workstation running Windows 7 is suitable as a server for up to 5 users, due to the load that this puts on the machine.

Scomis recommend that SIMS is made available to all teaching staff in a school, as it provides key up to date information for these staff about the children they teach.

We are therefore recommending that schools make Sims available on all staff machines within the school, which requires either a dedicated Sims server or the Hosted SIMS Application service.
