# Introduction to NavVis Desktop Processing

Desktop Processing is a data processing solution from NavVis for customers that only require On-Premise processing. Data is locally processed solely on a computer or similar device, unlike our premium data processing solution [NavVis IVION Processing](/v1/docs/navvis-ivion-processing).

For hardware system requirements, refer [here](/v1/docs/hardware-requirements-1).

****What is NavVis Desktop Processing?****

NavVis Desktop Processing is an on-premise data processing solution designed for customers who prefer or require local processing. Unlike NavVis IVION Processing (our premium cloud-based solution), all data is processed directly on your computer or a similar device, giving you full control over your data environment.

****Who should use NavVis Desktop Processing?****

This solution is ideal for users or organizations that:

- Need to process data in secure, offline environments.
- Prefer not to use cloud services due to internal policies.
- Want a self-managed and fully local data processing setup.

****What are the system requirements for Desktop Processing?****

To ensure optimal performance, specific hardware requirements must be met. Please refer to the official [**hardware system requirements**](/docs/introduction-to-desk-top-processing#) for full details.

****How does the release versioning strategy work?****

Starting with version **3.0.0**, NavVis has adopted a clearer versioning strategy to improve consistency and transparency:

- **Major versions (X.0.0):** Introduce breaking changes or non-backward-compatible updates.
- **Minor versions (X.X.0):** Deliver new features and enhancements.
- **Patch versions (X.X.X):** Contain bug fixes and hotfixes only.

This structure helps users better understand what to expect from each release.

****Where can I provide feedback or suggestions?****
