We're not (yet) making the transition, but I have to ask.... Why? Magic is more stable, has many features not available in C/S, takes up less real estate, takes fewer people to support, costs much less when hardware is taken into account, and does not require weekly reboots. Yes, I know there are some advantages in C/S also, but on balance Magic seems to come out on top. When we first adopted Meditech (1996), C/S was in Beta so we did not go in that direction. We have come to love Magic, however, and do not want to change. If we ever do make the transition, I'll have to think long and hard about how much I like my job.

The first obstacle is getting the demos from Meditech. We will be lucky if they are completed in a 3 - 6 month window. Then my question is did you hire consultants to set up the system or take care of the magic system. Did you hire a new set of analyst to install the new system or maintain the magic system. How long did it take. Does anyone have a project plan, integrated test plan. Would love to hear what you have to share and most definitely thanks in advance.

Are there any facilities that have already made this migration that would be willing to discuss this with us. We are particularly interested in the impact this move had on the financial modules such as dictionary rebuilding and staff training.
