What exactly is an ASP?An Application Service Provider is a business that hosts software on the ASP's own computer at a single site and allows end-user clients to share use of the software via remote communication connections. The ASP relieves the end-user client of the financial burden of software and hardware purchase, maintenance, and upgrades, and provides specialized services such as data storage, management, backups, training and support. In return, the end-user client typically pays a periodic service for a specified time.
What is special about Horizon's ASP software?Horizon is one of a very small number of medical billing and practice management systems capable of running an ASP in a fast, reliable, real-time environment. What's more, it has a number of distinct advantages over other ASPs we've encountered: 1. Horizon allows remote connection via the Internet. This cost-effective method utilizes your existing Internet infrastructure. It does not incur long distance charges or require special equipment as do other communications methods. 2. Data is very secure. In addition to sophisticated access controls and activity tracking, Horizon protects your data through HIPAA standard encryption. 3. System interaction is real time. Unlike many other medical ASP systems which utilize the Internet, Horizon's users interact with the host server in real time just as if they were located in the same office. You do NOT submit and receive pages as with competing products. Each keystroke is live with the server. 4. Speed is fast. Even when making a dozen or more "hops" through nodes on the Internet, data speed is very impressive. Most prospects comment that it's faster than their current in-house systems. 5. Training and troubleshooting are handled as if we were in your office. Authorized ASP staff can view the screen in use by any remote user, and can talk them through learning and problem solving over the telephone. Communication is extremely effective and cost efficient. 7. Horizon is tried and proven. Not only has it been in use and continuously improved since 1981, it has serviced remote clients via the Internet for over 2 years and the system works great!
