As an end user of optim, I have rather mixed feelings. We have used optim here for the past 3 years and it is many many miles better than the old DOS based equipment database and the access based parts database that we had before. The fact that optim can keep track of parts as well as equipment is very welcome but there is rather a lot of keyboard and mouse work to enter anything ( no shortcuts available as far as I know )
But the one thing I really HATE about optim is that fact that time taken is entered as hours:CENTI-HOURS not hours:minutes!!! When I discovered that optim was developed by French programmers, I understood that they were trying to upkeep the full spirit of La Revolution!
