Step 1: Install MobileTech Server

You can install MobileTech Server on any Microsoft Windows Server environment. See the Signature System Requirements for specific versions.

IMPORTANT

The user who installs or upgrades MobileTech must have the sysadmin server role. This user does not have to be a 'sa' user.
The MobileTech Server must be installed on same computer as the Internet Information Services (IIS) Site.

MobileTech Server installs the following:

MobileTech Admin
MobileTech is configured by using MobileTech Administration. This application lets you set up users and customize setup options per your organization's business rules and procedures.
MobileTech Integration Sync
MobileTech Integration Sync applies the settings you enter to the automated sync process. The integration sync process automatically updates the middle-tier database with changes that are made in Signature and Microsoft Dynamics GP. You can change the frequency of the updates later. For more information, see Monitor Processes and Tasks by Using Integration Monitor. An icon for MobileTech Integration Sync is added to your desktop. You can select the icon at any time after you set up MobileTech if you want to manually run the sync process.
Resco Cloud
Resco Cloud a cross-platform mobile solution with advanced configuration capabilities. Resco Cloud includes the Offline HTML version of Woodford, which is a tool that lets you customize and configure MobileTech for your business purposes. You will need to import the MobileTech Woodford project. We refer to this as Woodford in the rest of our documentation.
