ATLANTA, Nov. 14 /PRNewswire/ -- The Annual Lytec VAR Summit, recently held in Phoenix, AZ, marked the launch of NDCHealth's new software release, Lytec 2006, operating on the Microsoft SQL Server 2000 database platform. The introduction of the new SQL Server Platform, as well as other key new features and functionality, was very well received by the more than 130 value added resellers (VARs) in attendance.

The agenda included several informative general sessions as well as separate presentation tracks that allowed VARs to focus on Lytec 2006 product education, SQL Server technical training, business building and sales training.

"The new Lytec 2006 will provide customers with scalable, open and industry-standard database platform capabilities," said Steve Kilguss, Vice President and General Manager, Physician Solutions, NDCHealth. "This major shift in technology is in keeping with our strategy to deliver comprehensive practice management solutions that are high quality, affordable and easy for physician practices to use.
