System Migrations and Version Upgrades

Client Challenges

It can be difficult to sift through the conflicting messages around upgrades: on the one hand, vendors insist that it’s urgent to upgrade to the next version today, while financial watchdogs in your organization want to make do with current solutions as long as possible.

At S&P Consultants, we can objectively help you assess the risks, benefits, and costs of upgrades.

Migrating and accommodating disparate solutions (or versions) is another common challenge in today’s environment of mergers, practice acquisitions, and organizational growth. Often, it’s the human aspect of migrations that presents more difficulties than the technology itself.

We can help with both, thanks to a team with deep vendor, clinical, and communications skills— honed over the course of many engagements with clients of all descriptions.
