IHS Enerdeq Browser Release Notes v. 2.5 Browser Strategy and Recommendations

21

Browser Strategy andRecommendations

With Windows XP no longer being supported by Microsoft, we are seeing a significantgrowth in the use of IE10 and IE11 along with a large decrease in the IE8 usage by our usercommunity. In order for IHS Enerdeq to support the newer browsers, we will review IE8 anddetermine our strategy going forward. In any case all new features will be coded to supportthe more current browser releases.

With this release, we now support IE11. We review all Enerdeq processes and new requestsand thus certify on the newer Browsers going forward. If any issues arise with IE8, we willmake any necessary changes in a future release until we announce a decertification of thisbrowser.

Going forward we suggest that you access the Enerdeq Browser using IE10 or IE11, Firefoxor Chrome. These newer browsers perform more efficiently when using the Enerdeq Browserapplication.
