Why Use A Web-based System?

For years, businesses have been putting up with software that takes forever to install, crashes your servers, is a pain to upgrade, and requires mountains of expensive hardware. Then there's the challenge of synchronizing data between locations, not to mention all the day-to-day maintenance and support, without a technician on-site. Those hidden costs add up in a hurry.

Recently, the Web-based software model has taken off precisely because it solves those problems. Leaders like Salesforce.com and Oracle have successfully challenged the status quo and taken the ASP (application service provider) concept from the market fringes to the mainstream Fortune 500. So why are businesses now moving to Web-based ASP software in droves?

Dramatically Reduced Installation & Maintenance Costs

For starters, the license price of buying traditional software is just the tip of the iceberg. All the ongoing costs of hardware, IT management, support, and more add up to far more than the initial cost. That's where ASPs start to make sense.

A Web-based practice management & billing system like AdvancedMD doesn't require a server in the office. In fact, you don't install anything. You just log in through Internet Explorer and a full-featured application comes up for your use.

That also means you don't have to take care of the software or your data. We back it up continuously 24x7x365, and we also install updates (often weekly) and major upgrades as we go along. All you have to do is wake up, log in, and you're using the latest version.

And about crashes our system's average uptime over the most recent quarter was 99.98%. That's because we have a superb IT staff and a Tier 1 data center facility with redundant everything.

You get the benefits, without having to pay for all the hardware and staff yourself.

Access Anytime, Anywhere

Another reason people like AdvancedMD is that the Web-based model lets you easily access your updated information anywhere you can get on the Internet; home, another office, on the road.

It also means that multiple locations can work on the same real-time data all day, every day. There's never a need to merge, synchronize, or duplicate. And that means reports are always up-to-the-minute, no matter where you are.

You'll save time, connection and data management costs, and be more efficient as an organization.

Support Like We're Right There

Nothing's worse than a support tech saying, Well, we can't see what's wrong. Can you send us your data? With AdvancedMD's Web-based system, our techs can log right in and see exactly what you're seeing, and we can even troubleshoot your database if required. That means faster resolution and less pain if a problem arises.

You Want Security? We'll Give You Security

HIPAA security rules call for stringently protecting data from unauthorized access to data. One of the biggest risks is physical access within the office.

Outsourcing the data hosting to AdvancedMD means your data resides behind ultra-tight security (in a locked cage with biometric access, for starters). And it means it's behind an enterprise-class firewall to prevent unauthorized electronic access as well. Besides all that, when you access the system, data passes back and forth under the highest encryption available in your browser the same security used by banks for online transactions.

All that means you can rest more easily with your security obligations. We've got it covered for you.

Pay as You Go

Because the costs are lower, we can pass the savings along to you. When you purchase AdvancedMD software, you pay only for activation and training. Then pay a simple, predictable monthly fee that covers your software, upgrades, hosting, and unlimited support. That saves you from making a $50,000 mistake on the wrong software, and is more budget-friendly to your office.

What are the Disadvantages?

No solution is perfect. But Web-based software makes so much sense, AdvancedMD has made sure its disadvantages are non-issues, so you can relax and enjoy the benefits. Here two of the major items businesses consider.

• Possession of data: If you're data's not on site, can you be sure you have it? With AdvancedMD, we provide a Microsoft Access archive download of all your primary data that you can run any time of day or night. So if you would like your own backup on top of our continuous backups, you're welcome to it.
• System speed: Some less mature Web-based software behaves like a heavy web page. But our engineers, in conjunction with Microsoft's technical team, have developed a superb Web architecture that feels full like a Windows program, but runs on very minimized data exchange over the Web. That means you get the advantages of Web with the quick, snappy feel of a local application.

With the potential for so much cost savings, and the opportunity to use such an easy-to-use, well-developed application, it's no wonder offices everywhere are taking a longer look at AdvancedMD.
