Where we may not be the best choice

We can identify IT related and electronic workflow management issues as part of an improvement program, but we are not practice management software specialists. Where appropriate, we can co-opt independent, specialist people who are not tied to any particular software brand.

Generally, we do not have the size or the resource base to work effectively on major multi-location projects for national firms. The scope of new projects and our ability to deliver on them needs to take into account our ongoing commitments to existing clients.

As part of our general philosophy, if we believe that an alternative provider can produce a better, faster, more affordable job, we will recommend them to you.
