Site Requirements for Onsite Training

The goal of this list is to help your organization verify that the sites you are selecting for your Onsite Training venues/environments allow for a successful ParishSOFT Onsite Training.

Room

• Adequate room for the number attending.
  • Seating adequate for number of attendees.
  • Adequate table space for laptop/desktop and space for note taking.
• Podium & small table for presenter.
• Security: Is the room/space secure enough to leave equipment out overnight for a 2-day training session?  

IT Requirements

• Projector and Screen or Large Screen TV with HDMI or VGA Connection
  • HDMI cables that will reach from the projector to the desired location of the presenter.
  • Screen size should be adequate for the number attending and the room size.
• Broadband Internet Connection
  • Wireless or cabled internet for participants.
  • Wired internet connection for the presenter is preferable.
    • Note that DSL and U-Verse are not adequate.
      •  Download Speed - 15mps or greater
      • Upload Speed - 5mps or greater
        • Can be tested at speedtest.net
  • Verify firewalls do not block https://trainingdemo3@parishsoft.com and https://trainingdemo4@parishsoft.com
• Laptops/Desktop Computers
  • One per trainee (Up to 25 computers)
• Browsers
  • Chrome, Edge, Firefox or Safari
  • Recommend Chrome for Family Suite Training and Firefox for Accounting Training.  
• Power: At least 2 circuits if planning 25 laptops/desktops (circuits – meaning 2 circuit breakers – not necessarily outlets).
  • Extension cords/power strips to allow bringing power to the tables, or room configuration that allows tables near wall outlets to bring power via power strips. Safety Tip: Tape down any cords going across the room, as attendees and trainers will need to walk throughout the room.  
  • Power cords long enough to reach the projector and presenter's laptop and power strips if needed.
• Microphone & Speakers if required (based on room size).

Hospitality

• Will Refreshments be available for participants, or should they brown bag it?

Please address any questions or concerns directly to your Diocesan ParishSOFT Project Manager or ParishSOFT Trainer.
