Product System Requirements and Compatibility Matrix
Before installing Encompass or other products offered by Ellie Mae, verify the system requirements detailed in this document. When installing Encompass, additional third-party applications (such as Amyuni PDF Converter) are installed by the Encompass Installation Manager if the applications are not already on your computer.
System requirements are subject to change as Ellie Mae updates the software to accommodate new features and regulation requirements.
This compatibility matrix provides information about the interoperability of the Ellie Mae suite of products and various components, operating systems, browsers, and other products. Refer to this Legend to understand the Recommended, Supported, Not Supported, and Incompatible designations in the matrices.
Legend
Key | Meaning |
---|---|
Recommended |
Fully Supported. We recommend this combined platform for the best |
Supported |
We support usage of this version and will fix issues that are found. |
Not Supported |
We have not tested and do not support usage of this version, |
Incompatible |
We have tested this version and it does not work with our solution. |
Minimum requirements are based on the computer running the operating system, the Microsoft Office application and Encompass. Other applications running on the computer have their own requirements that need to be taken into consideration.
Minimum Internet connection requirements are based on average bandwidth usage. Bandwidth usage varies based on the number of users accessing items over the Internet, as well as the Encompass features and other applications being accessed over the Internet. In general, additional bandwidth will improve the user experience during peak usage periods, for example, during month-end closing.

Starting with Encompass 19.3, Windows for 32-bit systems will no longer be formally tested or supported. You may continue to install and use Encompass 19.3 (and earlier) in these 32-bit systems, but Ellie Mae will not provide support to address issues that may occur. Windows running on 64-bit operating systems can process more RAM compared to 32-bit operating systems (which are limited to 4 GB of addressable memory). Hence, we strongly recommend a 64-bit system (with larger memory as mentioned in this table) over a 32-bit system. System degradation has been observed for users on 32-bit operating systems when using Document Conversion or multiple applications in addition to Encompass. |
