I have a potential Adagio client who would like to know the maximum of AR customers that Adagio can handle. They are looking to possibly purchase GL, AP, AR, IC and Lanpak/10.

The client is a hospital and they want AR to track patient receivables. They say that because they are a public hospital, they have to maintain outstanding receivable records perpetually and expect that the number of AR customers would easily reach 20,000 or more.

I expect that Adagio can handle this number of customer records, but would it work with acceptable performance? I would not like to install Adagio for them and run into a situation where it turns out not to be a suitable solution.

Does anyone have any experience with a multi-user Adagio network installation with AR customers of over 20,000? Are there any specific hardware requirements, over and above the usual, that I should specify for the potential client?

Any feedback on this subject is appreciated.

I have experience. It works fine and fast. Just make sure they have 100BaseT cabling and switched hubs on the network.

20,000 is not that many for Adagio. I have a client with over 500,000 items in inventory, and there is no problem at all, other than physically keeping track of them.

This is exactly why people buy Adagio, for capacities that exceed the lower end package limits.

Wow Steve,

What's there Month End reporting like (Item Valuation etc.) ? Are there enough trees left in the world for this or are you guys printing to electronic format ?

More on topic, I would add that with the prices quite affordable now, I'd be looking at Gigabit (1,000 Mbit) NICs and Switches with CAT 6 Cabling for the huge transaction volume implementations. With regards to existing Network infrastructure - once you're at a 100 Mbit minimum as Steve noted, the Gigabit technology can be phased in.
