The Harver System Diagnostics Module serves as a remote hardware testing instrument originally designed to serve work from home organizations in their recruitment process. The module assesses someone’s hardware to make sure the right components are in place to run work from home software.
We provide a ‘pass’ or ‘fail’ result based on a benchmark of minimum requirements and will point out what components do not meet the criteria. We use a default configuration, but on request, Harver can also create customized benchmarks. The system diagnostics module is available for Windows and Mac.
