Winter Newsletter
Posted on 8 December 2022
Christmas is just around the corner, so we would like to wish all our users a Very Merry Christmas and a Prosperous New Year.
As 2022 comes to an end, there’s only been one thing on our minds….
software speed!
Need for Speed
As new features are added, there’s always a chance it can impact on performance. Usually any impact isn’t noticable, but sometimes big changes can have a major effect on speed. Unfortunately, it’s not always possible to know the extent of the impact until the system is used in the real world.
Recently, we have been experiencing a drop in speed mainly due to the introduction of the new, fully integrated eGOS module and it is most noticeable if your data is hosted in the cloud. Our development team have now fixed the issues with eGOS and they have also been busy optimising each module to provide an even faster user experience.
Key speed improvements (with hosted data sample):
eGOS screen loading: 5x faster
Record opening: 2x faster
Appointment saving: 3x faster
Clinical record opening: 4x faster
*PC performance and broadband speeds will affect the above times
