Buying enterprise software can be a painstaking exercise. One of the toughest tasks is developing a comprehensive list of functions your new software must support.
With Technology Evaluation Center (TEC), you can be covered.
TEC’s RFP templates give you the most complete lists of software features and functions you’ll find anywhere for over 20 different kinds of software, including ERP, CRM, SCM, accounting, RFID, BI, and HR. Each template lists hundreds and most list thousands of features and functions, divided into the main areas of the software’s functionality.
What’s more, since TEC RFP templates come in Excel spreadsheet format, you can easily cut and paste them to create your own custom functional requirements list(s). Then it’s a simple matter of sending your requirements list(s) to the vendors you’re interested in, and having them indicate, right on the same spreadsheet, how well or poorly they support each and every function.
It’s easy, it saves you time and money, and it prevents any important functional requirements from slipping through the cracks.
To view a sample and to find out more about how TEC RFP templates make software evaluation a much easier process, follow this link to TEC’s RFP template web site.
Virtualization solution from Parallels (called Parallels Desktop 3.0 for Mac) allows nice integration between Windows and your Mac.
Parallels call this feature Coherence for its ability to hide the Windows desktop and make it appear as if your Windows applications are running directly on your Mac. VMware Fusion also has the same feature called Unity. It also works very well, although not with Windows Vista, yet.
Coherence completely blew the broad between Windows and Mac and allows users to get the best of both worlds at the same time. It works really very nice! With this feature Parallels Desktop now goes even further to deepen OS integration and create a seamless user environment.
Parallels Desktop is better integrated into the Mac OS desktop by means of registering file types with the Parallels guest applications, MS Office applications could be opened by simple clicking on them. You can also get Windows notifications on the Mac desktop - that is very cool.
Parallels set up shared folders between OS X and Windows quite nicely. Fusion asks you to do this manually.
Fusion lets you access Windows programs from its Applications menu. Parallels let you run programs from its Applications menu or the dock icon.
You can open Mac files with Windows apps and Windows files with Mac apps (which means you have the ability to choose).
After some time working with Parallels you can almost forget that you’re running two OSes!
Parallels have Snapshot Manager feature which lets you save a copy of your virtual machine at a point in time. You can create a snapshot for a stopped or running virtual machine. When I created a snapshot of my Windows XP, it took about 23MB. Parallels also have an intuitive UI for managing the snapshots. You may have any number of snapshots and they can all be managed nicely. VMware also has snapshots, but they seem less robust.
The capability of Parallels is more likely, you just don’t notice that you are working with virtual machine and it seems to be just a real machine with real applications. Parallels Desktop has nice usability.
I pretty satisfied with Parallels, especially since they have a fairly active support team with forums, knowledgebase and all the other necessary stuff. My stand is defintely with Parallels!

The increasing demand for skilled medical billing and coding specialists can be attributed to the growing use of medical transcription software for healthcare organizations around the globe. Medical transcription software has slowly replaced the need for manual transcription services that could take up to a week to turnaround a dictation; today’s innovative software and technologies are designed to automate the dictation-to-reporting process so that the final product can be retrieved within 24-48 hours.
Many medical transcription companies now use medical transcription software to capture the dictation and turn it into an accurate report. Coding specialists must be trained to use the this specialized software, and these programs offer several benefits for any data processing agent.
Some of the key benefits of medical transcription software include:
1. Easy voice capture and speech recognition capabilities. This makes it easier for the medical transcriptionist to capture the doctor’s dictation with utmost accuracy. Doctors can submit their dictation via phone or other recording device to make the audio file available to the coding specialist, and the voice capture technologies can make this process more accurate than conventional methods.
2. Medical spell checking and dictionaries. Since a coding specialist may not understand medical terminology and phrases, a medical spellchecking function may be incorporated into the medical transcription software. This also makes the data capture more accurate and can save time in the grammar and spellcheck process.
3. Easy document distribution. After the report has passed quality control and is ready for submission, medical transcription software can make documents available in a variety of formats. The report can be synchronized to a doctor’s handheld device or computer, or simply sent in electronic form for easy printing. Continue Reading »

Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007, more commonly abbreviated as MOSS 2007, is one of the critical business intelligence tools available today. According to Microsoft itself, MOSS 2007 can be used to “facilitate collaboration, provide content management features, implement business processes, and supply access to information that is essential to organizational goals and processes (1).” As such, this is a product that is important to understand in today’s business world and that can be used by both large and small enterprises.

MOSS 2007 is a cohesive integration of business intelligence tools established by Microsoft to ease collaboration by using specialized websites, or portals. These portals can host documents, files, and even run programs and services such as blogs and wikis. Multiple users can be granted access to these portals and to all or some of the items hosted there. Users can then log in and make changes directly to these items in a centralized space.
The business intelligence tools offered by SharePoint are of particular use to companies that have employees in multiple offices around the world or employees that telecommute, but it can also be used within a single location when collaboration on a single document is critical. Continue Reading »
