To whom would you recommend this software? Other
comments.
- Just about anyone
- We use MIMS for `scripts
- All GPs
- Competitors, other
developers - There are lessons to be learnt in every
module, either from what it does well or from what it
does poorly. As the industry standard, this product is
the benchmark, even if it is readily surpassable in
most areas.
