Hello everyone,

I have been thinking about future options. We are a two provider practice, myself and a physicians assistant, we have hosted AC on-site for the last 15 years. For the first time, I am starting to seriously consider AC in the cloud.

1. Our server is 5-1/2 years old, so it is time to think about replacement. Hardware cost is an issue.
2. The recent posts on lack of AC support are concerning.
3. I think I am just sort of getting tired, and this appears to be perhaps a way to simplify life.

I know that several users, especially jimmie, seem very happy with the cloud. I have had two main reasons to want to keep our data on site.

1. Concern about Internet outage.
2. Concern about who "owns" the data.

Generally, are cloud users satisfied? Would you go with the cloud again, if you were starting over again?

Finally, some specific questions about AC cloud.

1. Any problems using Dragon Medical?
2. Any problems interfacing with EZ claim?
3. I have a request for pricing out to amazingcharts, but can someone post the approximate price structure? Do you still have the yearly fee, plus a monthly fee per user?



The other option I have been entertaining, although not as seriously, is to just switch back to a peer to peer network. I believe Jon (JBS) is still to peer. Anyone else? Your experience with this?

I greatly appreciate any comments or thoughts.
