Evaluation Specifications are stored in the central repository. There are two application types that allow you to access the central repository:

• The Evaluator's Application Suite (EAS) is a desktop application suite. You can create and edit Evaluation Specifications, generate Request for Proposals (RFP) and perform software comparisons. The EAS comes with a built-in Requirements Package Browser, which lets you import requirements into Evaluation Specifications via drag & drop.

• The Evaluation Specification Browser (ESB) is a Web application, which runs in the Web Browser. You can browse Evaluation Specifications on-line. The application can generate a spreadsheet for you, which you can open in Microsoft Excel or other spreadsheet tools that can understand Microsoft's Excel file format.

While there are no differences in terms of content, the pricing policy factors in that usage scenarios are different. Therefore, Evaluation Specification license fees are considerably lower for the Evaluation Specification Browser.
