Sonasoft & Osterman Research Publish White Paper on Why Email Archiving is a Critical Best Practice

San Jose, CA (PRWEB) February 1, 2011

Sonasoft Inc., an emerging leading provider of fully integrated and automated solutions for email archiving, disaster recovery, and exchange backup / recovery solutions along with Osterman Research a market research and consulting firm, announced today that it is making available its white paper, Why Email Archiving is a Critical Best Practice.

The research addresses the issues related to email archiving adoption today. It also answers critical questions like: Why is archiving is a critical best practice for any organization? Is archiving riskier than deleting all content and does it create additional storage problems? Can regular backups be an important best practice substitute for archiving?; while giving a brief overview of how Sonasofts email archiving solutions can help resolve these issues.

According to Michael D. Osterman, President Osterman Research, Inc. and author of this whitepaper, Email archiving can have a positive impact on virtually every individual and function within an organization:

It can dramatically lower the time and cost of responding to a regulatory audit or an e-discovery request, thereby reducing legal fees and the time required to respond to inquiries.
It can more reliably preserve business records because it takes the decision out of the hands of individual users, and it reduces the likelihood of accidentally deleting important content that should be preserved for long periods.
It can reduce the amount of storage on email servers, allowing them to run more efficiently and reliably with shorter backup windows and shorter restoration periods.
It can allow end users to access their own older email content instead of requesting assistance from IT, allowing the latter to work more efficiently.
It can assist with migrations from one version of an email system to another, making the entire process of migration faster and more efficient.

On why should people be downloading this report, Osterman adds, Email archiving is both a business and a technical decision. Line-of-business decision makers should read the paper to understand the business and legal benefits of archiving, while IT decision makers need to understand that archiving is not just another system to manage, but instead one that can save them time and money, and can make other parts of the IT infrastructure operate more efficiently.

Topics covered in the white paper include:

What prevents archiving adoption today?
Why do you need to archive email?
Key issues to consider when selecting an email archiving solution
Understanding the consequences of not archiving
How to establish mail and other content retention policies
Calculating long-term archiving requirements
Deploying a solution for long-term

State-of-the-Art Pediatric Dental Practice Selects ITG Networks for "Hassle-Free" Healthcare Managed Service Solution.

Wexford, Pennsylvania (PRWEB) February 08, 2012

With this release, ITG Networks is proud to announce its newly forged relationship, providing managed services to Tender Care Pediatric Dentistry (TCPD). With a newly built office, TCPDs approach is fresh, unique, and on the cutting edge of where pediatric dentistry is headed. Pictured is one of the many 3 dimensional animals used in Tender Care’s immersive and custom themed exam rooms. Download the Case Study for more details.

ITG Networks changes the way small and medium businesses (SMB) approach their office technology by offering a true turn-key, managed service solution. By incorporating such offerings as managed services, backup and disaster recovery, virtualization, Droid and iPhone accessible surveillance systems, PBX phone systems, and ITG Network’s patented Waiting Room Wifi, businesses now have a singular point of contact for almost all of their technology needs.

With a unique practice like TCPD, it was crucial to have a unique solution well suited to their operational flow that helped them gain greater efficiencies. After discussing the advantages of utilizing a single company who could design their network, integrate with 3rd party software, manage the entire installation process from start to finish, and support the solution afterwards; Tender Care didn’t have to look any further than ITG. With this type of approach, ITG was able to delve deeper into the day to day operations of TCPD, and work together on a united front to deploy a solution tailored to their business and needs.

Working closely with Tender Cares staff to ensure their opening day timeline; ITG was able to outfit their new office with a Desktop and Server Upgrade, Backup and Disaster Recovery, Dental Software Integration and Update, Server Virtualization, ITG’s Waiting Room Wifi for patients, Structured Cabling, and a Full Function PBX Phone Solution. I needed to have the practice up and running in the new facility and I was pleasantly surprised by ITGs project management and commitment to meet our timeline, says Dr. Beatriz De La Roche. At the core of what ITG has brought to the table is their Managed Services, deemed ITG Network Immunization, for Desktops and Servers. ITGs Network Immunization removed over 1,000 spyware threats in the first month after taking over existing workstations.

The relationship that forged between ITG Networks and Tender Care Pediatric Dentistry is a brilliant fit. Several different companies would typically place the assorted pieces of the technology puzzle together; this can often lead to frustration during install and support phases of any project. ITG Networks has proven to be the point of singularity that merges all processes into a cohesive solution. By relieving the burden of day to day technology hassles, Tender Care Pediatric Dentistry can continue to make the patients their number one priority.

ClearDATA EMR Cloud Hosting Service Saves Advanced Arthritis Care Practice Over $30k in Server & Support Costs

Phoenix, AZ (PRWEB) May 09, 2012

ClearDATA Networks, Inc., the leading healthcare cloud computing platform and service provider, today announced that Advanced Arthritis Care and Research (AACR), a Medical Group Practice located in Scottsdale, AZ is hosting its EMR software on the ClearDATA Private Cloud at the companys datacenter. AACR needed to upgrade its EMR software to be compatible with a new billing system, but the upgrade would have taken 2.5 months and required a new server for more than $ 30,000, plus monthly support and maintenance fees. After researching its options, AACR decided to have both its EMR and billing software hosted at the ClearDATA data center, which took less than one week for the entire implementation to be up and running efficiently.

Private cloud hosting of EMR software is one of the fastest growing trends in healthcare due to the significant costs associated with increased server and storage requirements, along with monthly maintenance and support fees. ClearDATA is targeting its secure, HIPAAcompliant EMR Cloud Hosting Service to small-to-large healthcare practices across the country and has performed successful implementations with software from most of the major EMR vendors.

EMR Cloud Hosting is an area of tremendous growth for ClearDATA, said David Bean, executive vice president of sales and marketing, ClearDATA Networks, Inc. Healthcare providers are increasingly moving their EMR and EHR software to the cloud because of the significant savings in hardware expenses and support, eliminating the need for multiple servers and substantial storage. And due to increased market demand, EMR software companies are partnering with us to cloud enable their software as well as hosting their EMR solutions on our ClearDATA Cloud Computing Platform.

After multiple phone calls with ClearDATA over the course of several days and even visiting their data center, I felt very confident in going with a cloud hosted solution, said Liza Altman, administrator and office manager for Advanced Arthritis Care and Research. I actually feel more secure with their hosted solution than having the data in our office. Also, we were pleasantly surprised that our performance running GE Centricity is much faster now through the cloud than it was on our local server, and the system has never been down.

Talus Foot Surgeons Selects ClearDATA for HIPAA-Compliant Cloud Hosting of BioMedix TRAKnet Practice Management Software

(PRWEB) August 22, 2012

ClearDATA Networks, Inc., the leading healthcare cloud computing platform and service provider, today announced that Talus Foot Surgeons, LLC., a Scottsdale-based provider of podiatric medicine and surgery, is hosting its BioMedix TRAKnet PM Advanced Practice Management Solution on the ClearDATA Private Cloud at the companys HIPAA-compliant datacenter. Running its practice management software on the ClearDATA Healthcare Cloud Platform saved Talus significant hardware and IT support expenses. The process of fully implementing the software and patient information into the cloud was completed in approximately two weeks.

Once we evaluated our options and cost comparisons, it was an easy decision to have our BioMedix practice management software hosted with ClearDATA rather than running it on computers within our offices, said Dr. Serrina M. Yozsa, DPM, of Talus Foot Surgeons, LLC. We eliminated the expense of having to purchase new servers, as well as the usual IT support and maintenance costs. Best of all, we now have great peace of mind knowing our system is running with total reliability, our patient data is secure, and our practice is meeting HIPAA security requirements.

In early 2012, Dr. Yozsa decided to switch from an older practice management solution to BioMedix TRAKnet, which was certified by the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC), and would allow them to achieve Meaningful Use.

Adult Primary Care Associates Transition EHR and Practice Management Systems Backed by ProviDyns Private Cloud

Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) October 22, 2012

Adult Primary Care Associates, a physician practice specializing in internal medicine and preventive healthcare, has selected ProviDyn for private cloud services. Earlier this year, the practice enlisted ProviDyn to determine if its existing technology infrastructure could support a move of Allscripts electronic health records (EHR) and practice management systems to cloud services.

Today, with financial incentives and stimulus stemming from the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act (HITECH) and Meaningful Use, an increasing number of healthcare providers are moving to electronic records to capture patient information, track and report clinical conditions and improve performance. However, many dont realize that a solid and reliable infrastructure is critical for a successful transition to electronic records.

Adult Primary Care Associates wanted to take advantage of the benefits of upgrading their Allscripts technology but had an aging infrastructure that could potentially cause problems in its efforts to migrate to the latest platform. ProviDyn conducted a thorough evaluation and recommended that the practice consider migrating to a private cloud versus the more expensive option of purchasing all new equipment. With cloud services, the practice can move forward knowing that its infrastructure is able support growth to the EHR and practice management systems.

With the private cloud, Adult Primary Care Associates is able to upgrade its practice management processes and also take its infrastructure to a new level, said Hamish Davidson, president and co-founder of ProviDyn. Taking the added step of ensuring that the infrastructure and existing equipment can handle going electronic is often a key element of a successful implementation.

We had reached a point with our existing infrastructure, that we were faced with major hardware improvements in order to be able to keep up with continuous upgrades to our software, said Julie Clemons, Practice Manager of Adult Primary Care Associates. ProviDyn came in and conducted a thorough evaluation. Their recommendations for upgrading our infrastructure were strategic and cost effective.
