Hosted:  NO

Additional Charge:  NO )NOT HOSTED - NO CHARGE TO INTEGRATE)

Description: 

HCSS Heavy Bid's Enterprise Server allows for multiple end users to collaborate on bids and will provide for multiple end users logging into the same system.  It will generate import files that can be used by Vista's auto-import functionality to import bid data into Vista.  This can be accessed through Vista's new File System API to import these records into Vista using the Vista rich client.  Automatic imports can also be set up using the same methods.

NOTE:  THIS IS NOT THE SAME PRODUCT AS HCSS HEAVY BID CLIENT-SIDE APP.  HCSS HEAVY BID ENTERPRISE SERVER CAN BE HOSTED EITHER IN THE CUSTOMER NETWORK (PREFERRED) OR VIEWPOINT'S CLOUD.

tl;dr:  Customers who need to integrate HCSS Heavy Bid Enterprise Server app with Vista in our cloud need to use the Imports Module and / or File System API to import records.  This solution may be hosted on HCSS's cloud or on the customer's local network.
