Like other businesses, many medical practices prefer to own and maintain their servers on-site. They do this for many reasons but this option comes at a significant cost in terms of maintenance, hardware upgrades and technical support.
The alternative, hosted service*, is becoming increasingly attractive as software systems and broadband capacity improve and licensing agreements adapt to new market demands.
We recognise that each business has its own unique requirements and constraints making one or other option a better choice, so we offer our practice management systems both as fully client-based or hosted solutions.
Houston manages ALL updates, including software packages, service packs,security releases and antivirus concerns – so instead of dealing with various technical headaches you can spend more time working on your medical practice.
The choice is yours!
* A number of relatively recently coined terms cover broadly similar services including “cloud computing”, “Software as a Service (SaaS)” and “Application Service Provider (ASP)”
