| Client software: WebTop and Worktop |  |
| ERP LN comes with two different client applications: WebTop A client application that you run in an internet browser, without installing anything on the client workstation. The WebTop is based on Java. Worktop A client application that you can use after it is installed on the client workstation. Worktop runs on Microsoft Windows. You can recognize the Worktop client by the icon in the title bar. The user interfaces of these clients have a different appearance, but most of the functionality is the same. In both clients, you can run multiple applications. For example, you can start ERP LN sessions, run DEM processes (Dynamic Enterprise Modeling), and work with Workflow lists. In both clients, you can easily customize the interface. In both clients, you have a shortcut bar where you can place shortcuts to frequently used tools and sessions. The following table describes some of the differences:
