“One of our priorities in I/S was to gain efficiencies through the utilization of our computer systems and software. We had determined that there were many tasks performed manually which could be automated through a scripting tool. Summit Healthcare allowed us to try out their product on a trial basis. And we found that it only took a short hands-on training session with their staff to get us up to speed with the SST. Within a matter of days, we had several applications up and running; including batch print file routing, payment updates and automatic updating of Cartridge and Roll data (User Defined Fields) for Medical Records. The more applications we write, the more opportunities that seem to open up for automating processes. We have successfully tested SST on several other platforms, including our AS/400 and HP Alpha machines and have used the tool across the organization. The SST product paid for itself during the first month of implementation.” Beverly Vincent, Systems Analyst
