Prerequisites
See also the section on licensing in this blog post.
Details of the technical requirements for each module can be found in the master guide, environment check list and compatibility matrix. These documents can be found in the installation files, and the
latest versions can be requested from SAP/Nakisa. Each module must however run on NetWeaver (as a Java application), access to SAP and a web browser must be used to access the system (both
front and back end features). Requirements for additional components such as a Java Connector and database varies by module and architecture.
Visualization Solutions by Nakisa (VSN) solutions (with the exception of OrgModeler and OrgAudit) do not require a separate database. However databases can be used to store additional information
such as user preferences, social information and notes where applicable to a module. Primarily the modules depend upon data and objects maintained in SAP ERP Human Capital Management.
Organizations wishing to take advantage of VSN modules should ensure that they have Organizational Structures, including Position and Person data in place.
Installation
Installation instructions are included with the module download.
