Perceptive Content: Web vs. Desktop Client
Web: Perceptive Experience, the web based instance of Perceptive Content, allows you to take advantage of most of the functionality of the desktop client via a web browser, so wherever you are, on campus or off, you can access your documents.
Unlike the Perceptive Content desktop client, the browser-based counterpart does not require any installations or upgrades on the computer.
Desktop Client: The Perceptive Content desktop client provides the full functionality and features of Perceptive Content. Those who use the desktop client must upgrade whenever the server is upgraded whereas web users do not need to worry about this.
