about
Practice Evolve
Practice Evolve is a:
Desktop-Based Application
This means Practice Evolve typically runs as desktop software within the firm's office on employee PCs, however, some firms may use an IT provider that hosts Practice Evolve on a remote server in a remote datacenter. In this scenario, firm members may RDP, TeamViewer, RemoteApp, or Screen Connect to a remote PC where they access Practice Evolve. In this scenario, some people may say that Practice Evolve runs 'in the cloud', however, it is really just a desktop application running on someone else's equipment.
Practice Evolve is a:
