Hi all,
For the Banner schools out there.... are any of you accessing Banner
from iPads? I am trying to find the most efficient path to head down.
So far the one way people have been doing it is to use the VMware View
Client on the iPad to access a Windows7 virtual desktop. Seems a little
overkill to me. I am not a Banner person by any means but I heard that
they have free mobile apps available, can anyone speak to this?
Also, I thought there was some company out there that could virtualize
Windows apps and make them available on any device.... I think we would
need to be able to deliver a package that includes Internet Explorer
along with whatever flavor of Java is needed to run Banner.
Thanks for any advice you might have :-)
