New features in !MC5

!MC5 is the logical next step in our effort to constantly improve our products. It replaces Odette MC, Odette MC CAD and EDI-Convert Standalone and offers all the functionality its predecessors offered, improving many of the existing functionality and adding many new features.

!MC5 features a new, modern GUI, combining all features into one intuitivley user experience. Even more improvements are "under the hood", improving and extending on existing and introducing new features.
