No matter the sub-specialty, Spectrum has a series of modules designed to work with a business.” It said that Spectrum “is a completely integrated system, with all modules designed to work together seamlessly” and that Spectrum “contains excellent reporting capabilities, including easy integration with Crystal Reports.” It noted Spectrum’s Document Imaging, Project Management, Query and Dashboards and Spectrum Mobile modules.
