Information processing apparatus, setup method, and computer-readable storage medium

A method executed by an information processing apparatus which includes a processor and which transmits data to set up predetermined software in a terminal, the method comprising:

• storing in which predetermined identification information corresponded to customizing information to customize the data is stored in a storage when registration of the predetermined identification information and the customizing information to customize the data is received through a communicating unit,
• generating in which an installer to install the data is generated in a state including the predetermined identification information corresponded to the customizing information and in which the installer is stored in the storage in a downloadable state,
• customizing in which the data to setup the predetermined software is customized according to the customizing information corresponded to the predetermined identification information such that functional content of the predetermined software is changed according to the customizing information, when the installer is downloaded and started on the terminal and the terminal in which the installer is started is connected to the information processing apparatus through a network, and
• transmitting in which the data customized by the customizing information in said customizing is transmitted to the terminal through the communicating unit;
• wherein:
• the data includes database setup data to setup a predetermined database which can be used in the predetermined software,
• the customizing information includes industry type information which shows an industry type to which the user belongs,
• a setup state of the database corresponding to each industry type is set, and
• in the transmitting, the database setup data based on the setup state of the database corresponding to the industry type stored in said storing is transmitted to the terminal through the communicating unit.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having a program stored thereon for controlling a computer used in an information processing apparatus which transmits data to setup predetermined software in a terminal, wherein the program is executable by the computer to control the computer to perform a processing operation comprising:

• a storage control process in which predetermined identification information corresponded to customizing information to customize the data is stored in a storage when registration of the predetermined identification information and the customizing information to customize the data is received through a communicating unit,
• a first generating process in which an installer to install the data is generated in a state including the predetermined identification information corresponded to the customizing information and in which the installer is stored in the storage in a downloadable state,
• a customization process in which the data to setup the predetermined software is customized according to the customizing information corresponded to the predetermined identification information such that functional content of the predetermined software is changed according to the customizing information, when the installer is downloaded and started on the terminal and the terminal in which the installer is started is connected to the information processing apparatus through a network, and
• a first transmitting control process in which the data customized by the customizing information in the customization process is transmitted to the terminal through the communicating unit,
• wherein:
• the data includes database setup data to setup a predetermined database which can be used in the predetermined software,
• the customizing information includes industry type information which shows an industry type to which the user belongs,
• a setup state of the database corresponding to each industry type is set, and
• the first transmitting control process is performed in which the database setup data based on the setup state of the database corresponding to the industry type stored by the storage control process is transmitted to the terminal through the communicating unit.
