If it pleases the court, I'd like to make a case.
Maintain a server for the next 7 years.
* That includes upgrades if you have to. If your current server already has some age on it, some type of upgrade is almost a certainty.
* That includes backups. You'll have to maintain licensing for whatever backup software you use. And you'll still need to periodically test your backups.
* Updates. Updates for Windows, AC, SQL Server are all still on the table.
In other words, letting your server sit on the shelf for the next 7 years and just print something whenever with the idea that this will all be maintenance free may not be plausible.
PDF files, however, can be moved to whatever machine you wish or to multiple machines or USB drives. You can even hire my friend Andrew to host your files for you and take legal custodial ownership of those files. You'll be free to retire to some island in the Pacific surrounded by margaritas and senoritas and never to worry about calls from patients/doctors for medical records again or having to deal with some annoying server that will turn into an eyesore in your house.
If you wish, you can send me your data and I'll convert a few patients and let you have their files. If you like what you see, we can finish the conversion when appropriate and move forward. If you don't like, then I'll delete your data from my server and no fee and no hard feelings.
I'll PM Andrew's contact info.
