Did You Know #1

Did you know that Jackson Thornton Technologies offers offsite backup to businesses who want to have a strong disaster recovery plan? Even better, did you know that the information is stored in our own secure data center located in central Alabama? This gives us (and our clients) peace of mind that their information is secure and accessible in the event of a natural disaster or other risk to business continuity.

Merchant Services - Intuit Software

Intuit Software has started to market their Merchant Services program very aggressively the past few months. For those who use QuickBooks for their accounting applications or point-of-sale solutions, I would encourage you to take a look and compare the Intuit program to what you are currently using. There are a few advantages to using this program, one of which is that it allows you to take and accept credit and debit cards within your QuickBooks application, without the need for an external terminal. Additionally, for retail operations, you can lease signature pads and pin pads directly from Intuit. You can even accept credit cards on your Mobile Phone via GoPayment.

Jackson Thornton Technologies can provide you with a free comparative quote to see if you could benefit from using Intuit Merchant Services. You can also visit http://payments.intuit.com/ for more information.

Great Times - MGMA Summer Conference

JTT just got back from the Summer MGMA Conference at the lovely Sandestin Beach Resort. As always, kudos to Lisa and her team for a great show. This is the 6th year for us at Sandestin, and we've come to look at this conference as a get together of good friends and a great way to catch up with our partners and clients.

Of course the hot topic this year was the HITECH Act and its effect on healthcare providers. We continued to hear differing opinions on what the government will define as "meaningful use" with regards to EMR, and it was clear that there is much anxiety from practice managers of clinics who are still waiting to purchase as well as those who were using a previously purchased system. JTT is continually working to advise clients on a constant basis, and with the help of Jackson Thornton Healthcare, we are preparing some great educational sessions which will help keep local medical providers informed and aware.
