Again, every commercial fire alarm system must send a daily timer
test.  ADT receives thousands and thousands of these each day.  MAS is
the largest supplier of monitoring software in the industry.  It's no
suprise that ADT uses them, and has for years.  However, billing and
order entry is done in other systems within ADT.  MasterMind is used
for monitoring and service dispatch, only.  Security Link used
MasterMind for all business functions, and from what I understand, it
worked quite well.
