The Stratus® ftServer® Creates a Sense of Security

At Sage Software, we know that you rely on your practice and clinical management solutions, not only to care for your patients, but to run your business. You can't afford to have downtime. Every minute that your system isn't operational costs you money. Intergy by Sage was designed with many features to avoid situations where downtime might occur, but your hardware choices can also impact your system's stability.

Not long ago, Ryan Bonner, IT manager at The Orthopedic Center of St. Louis (TOC-STL), found out just how true this is. The practice implemented Intergy in 2004 after many years of utilizing The Medical Manager by Sage. "We wanted to get a fully integrated practice and clinical management system in place and we were happy with our relationship with Sage Software so we decided to stay with them and implement Intergy," explains Bonner.

They were happy with the Intergy product from the beginning. Both the software and the hardware were working fine. Unfortunately, the practice experienced something that is rare but can happen—they had a server crash. Sage Software technicians responded immediately, getting a new server in place so they could get back to business quickly, but they recommended the practice consider changing to the Stratus ftServer.

Bonner saw that the Stratus ftServer offered 99.999% uptime or better, complete redundancy, internal alerts and a remote monitoring solution. The Stratus ftServer was implemented and Bonner knows that this was the right decision. "This is a redundant system so in the event that one side goes down, the other one is already operating as though nothing has happened and we have time to fix whatever is wrong," he explains.

It may sound too good to be true, but Ryan Bonner fully believes the claims now that he has a Stratus ftServer in place at TOC-STL. "We have had nothing but success with it," he asserts. "It is everything they say it is, and when all your physicians are relying on electronic charts and documentation, you can't afford to have the system down at all. That is the reliability this solution provides."
