New Rabbits for Clients in Govt. & Education - Cost Savings up to 50%
What we hear repeatedly from our clients in government and education is that budgetary pressures continue and IT departments are perpetually expected to create magic, pulling new cost savings tricks out of their magician top hats. DMD has recently been able to save clients up to 50% on software maintenance costs. If you are tired of forced upgrades with unneeded bells and whistles, third-party software maintenance can keep your current software systems in tune, even if that software is no longer supported by the manufacturer. Third-party support is available on a variety of popular packages, including PeopleSoft, JD Edwards, Siebel, Oracle E-Business Suite, and SAP. For more information or a free workup to see how much you could save, contact us.
Medical Records Systems Transform Healthcare
DMD can help you transform healthcare delivery with medical records systems. When patient records are at your fingertips and viewable on mobile devices, the patient easily becomes engaged in the process, improving outcomes. Errors by patient and staff are minimized, and costs are reduced through efficiencies in workflow. With the current incentives and help from DMD, adoption of Electronic Medical Records is painless - no anesthesia required - and very cost-effective. Contact DMD today.
