FAQ
- Switching cost?
- 2-4 months. Plan a parallel month with both PIMS active. Data migration is the bottleneck, not training.
- Cornerstone vs ezyVet?
- Cornerstone wins for IDEXX-only SA shops. ezyVet wins everywhere else for new builds.
- What about Vetspire / Shepherd / Digitail?
- Newer entrants worth a look at the low end. Smaller markets, lighter integrations.
