Medisoft for Networks Medisoft for Networks allows 3 users on a Windows 98®or Windows® Me network to access your data files simultaneously. Networking your office with Medisoft for Networks reduces network-caused data corruption and improves the performance of Medisoft on a network. Data Integrity Remains Secure Medisoft for Networks uses the latest version of the Advantage™ Database Server. The Advantage™ Database Server receives a request from the client. It then processes the request and returns only the results to the client. By returning only the results over the network, there is little chance for data corruption. Improve Performance On A Network High network traffic slows down the transfer of data. This in turn slows down the response of your Medisoft program. Because the Advantage™ Database Server transfers less data, there is little network traffic, which improves the performance of Medisoft on a network. Medisoft Network Professional Medisoft Network Professional allows multiple users on a Windows® NT, Windows® 2000, or Windows® XP network to access your data files simultaneously. In addition to the benefits of networking your office, Medisoft Network Professional offers many new features not available in any other Medisoft program! Exclusive Reports
