Additional Notes

Hard Drive

The hard drive is the most commonly overlooked specification, but is a very important component of a computer (particularly the speed of the hard drive). Large network users (6 user and above) should consider SCSI or SATA hard drives on the Server for added performance.
RAID technology is not necessary, but may be desirable for added data redundancy and throughput.

Modem/Router

A Broadband, ADSL2/2+ Router/Modem is strongly recommended.
Remote access is required on the Server computer & Client Computers during the Installation/Troubleshooting.

Network

Wireless networks are supported.
You will need an IT / Network specialist advice for initial installation, maintenance and for future support problems related to network.

Anti-Virus & Firewall Software

It is advised to install a good Anti-Virus & Firewall Software on all computers.

Operating System

The following Microsoft Operating Systems are supported:
Windows® 2003 Server
Windows® 2000 Server/Professional
Windows® XP Professional (Windows® XP Home Edition is not recommended for network users)
Windows® Vista® (Home and Business)
Windows 7
32 bit and 64 bit operating systems

The Microsoft .NET v3.5 SP1 must be installed on all computers.

It is advised to install latest service packs on all supported operating systems and any Windows updates may be required when appropriate (now and in the future).

(NOTE: Non-Microsoft Operating Systems, or Emulated versions of Microsoft OS’ are not supported (IE: Running Windows within Parallels Desktop under Mac OS X)

quoteI recently started a new physiotherapy business and was looking for software which was easy to use and did everything in one program (administration, case notes, SMS, etc).
I chose PracticeBee and have been very pleased with the product. It is easy to use, cheaper than other software I researched, and the customer service has been exceptional – very friendly, helpful and prompt.
I look forward to continuing my positive PracticeBee experience over the coming years.

quoteIn early 2009 I made the decision to go paperless in my clinic in order to stream line front desk, and administration tasks.  After using several programs on the market I was wanting to find a package that could do specific reports, notes etc.  that I needed.   After searching for several months found PracticeBee .  It was new but it did all the basics I needed plus much more.  However, what sold me on the software and I was guaranteed that all of the upgrades/features that I was after would be built into the program and I was given a timeline that these would be completed...... 

Thanks

quoteWe changed our Practice System to PracticeBee in 2008. The clinic was going through structural and growth changes at that time, and although we were using an electronic appointment book program, the clinic was looking to become a fully paperless.

Having worked as a CA and Office Manager for 15 years and using various appointment books and practice programs, I was very impressed with the assistance and professional service from the PracticeBee team. One time we had a problem and they flew a technician from Sydney and had it fixed and they never charged a penny. That was outstanding service! They customised the training until all of our staff were totally ready and did some of it outside clinic hours.

Thanks
