Internet vs. Client/Server-Based Practice Management Software
The term "client/server" describes the relationship between a central database server that is connected to personal computers within one location (usually a company's office). Client/server-based technology came to prominence in the 1980s, and there are still a large number of practice management systems today that use this legacy technology. However, sophisticated Internet-based applications such as products NueMD® offer a number of advantages over it's client/server-based counterparts.
