Upgrade to practice management software
Spectrum Release 5  has been released by AT Veterinary Systems.
Spectrum Release 5 – new from AT Veterinary Systems.

New generation of practice management software

Improved practice management software package Spectrum Release 5 (SR5) has been unveiled by AT Veterinary Systems.

The veterinary software development firm said SR5 has been a substantial development project and offers a significant change to the current Spectrum Practice Management System (PMS) database engine and operation.

The new software can now run entirely on Mac OS X systems as well as UNIX and Linux, and offers unparalleled stability and industry-leading support.

It has undergone internal and external testing and has to date already recorded more than five million transactions.

Taking full advantage of the OS X server platform, SR5 delivers improved practice management functions. Like its predecessors, SR5 remains fully compatible with both Windows and Apple Mac terminals.

SR5 also offers the platform for the new AT Veterinary Systems' Distributed Database System (DDS), which will provide a faster centrally managed system amongst multi-branch practices.

Organised by the Responsible Use of Medicines Alliance Companion Animal and Equine (RUMA CA&E), the initative is supported by a range of cross-sector organisations.

Practices are encouraged to use the campaign to engage the whole practice team and raise awareness of the safe disposal of medicines with clients. Learn how your practice can get involved at rumacae.org.uk
