Goals
- Get the user count and case count for every internet accessible ProcessMaker installation.
- Get the user count and case count for every non internet accessible ProcessMaker installation.
Background and strategic fit
We need to provide a means for our sales team to know the user count and case count of a ProcessMaker installation on a periodic basis. This will enable our sales team to follow up with our customers and up sell the user or case subscription.
Assumptions
- Some ProcessMaker installation may have access to the internet
- Some ProcessMaker installation may not have access to the internet
- This feature will have to be developed as a custom plugin
