Why does Velaro call itself a "software on demand" service?
Velaro is part of a new breed of software applications that are offered as a service. Often called "software on demand", or "software as a service", these applications do not require you to download or install any server based software. Velaro maintains all the servers, the databases, the network infrastructure and backups in a secure, hosted environment. Software on demand services offer tremendous benefits to you as they significantly reduce the costs and burden of maintaining your own server software.
How does Velaro price its service?
Velaro's subscription services are priced based on the number of agents that will be providing online support, as well as the different features you wish to have access to.

What are the requirements for running the Velaro Desktop Agent application?
Since Velaro is a hosted service, there is never any software or hardware to install on your servers. However, to provide the absolute best quality service, each of your customer service and support agents is required to download the Velaro Desktop Application. This application communicates with Velaro’s server over the Internet and allows you to monitor visitors in real-time and chat with them. The Velaro Desktop Application works on Microsoft Windows 98, XP, 2000, 2003 or Vista. The Desktop Application also works on a Mac if you have Paralles installed, and of course Mac, Linux, Unix website visitors always be able to use the Velaro service. Velaro also recommends you install the application on a computer with at least 256MB of memory. The Velaro Desktop application requires less than 20MB on your machine.

Does Velaro Live Help work in a secure environment?
Velaro's secure live help services offer the ability to have real-time live chat conversations in a 100% protected environment. Velaro uses the same secure technology, known as SSL to protect your chat conversations that is used when you are shopping on any secure Internet based shopping site.
Does Velaro work on a Macintosh or other non-Windows environment?
The Velaro Desktop Application is a Windows only application. However, if you run Paralles on the Mac, Velaro will work like a charm. And remember, when you are chatting with website visitors, your visitor only needs a web browser. Velaro does not install any software, components, or applets on your visitors’ machine, so we are compatible with 99.9% of all browsers that are out there today. Because of this, Velaro's web-based chat works on most all platforms and operating systems.
