| Overview |
Omnify uses a 3-tier architecture:
Multiple tiers can reside on a single node/machine or separated across different servers.
This document describes system software and hardware requirements for each tier as well as web browsers supported for client/user access.

All core Omnify Empower 5.0 applications and modules are web browser-based applications.
The following browsers are supported for client/user access:
| Browser |
Version |
