The FCMS

Client PC's located throughout the customer's site(s). Standard
networking practices are utilized to afford each Client PC communications

one or more Software Modules, depending on the intended utilization of the
PC in question. Client PCs are configured with security software to
prevent mis-use. Below is a sampling of a few of the features
