Run your dd provider software from the cloud, not the closet

Posted by Mike Holihan on Thu, Jan 30, 2014 @ 09:47 AM

Does this picture look familiar to anyone that manages the IT at an agency?  If you so, you are not alone!  It's very common at a human service agency to have the IT operations shunned to a back corner of the office and given an empty closet to store all of your computer servers.  And very quickly this closet becomes your oasis - your happy place that very few people you work with appreciate!  Maybe you go in the server closet once a day to just check everything or do some back ups.  Maybe you go in there just to hear the gentle humming of the fans and relax your mind. Maybe you even take your lunch break in the server closet (this is not recommended!).  In any case, the server closet is your domain.  So knowing that, this headline might instantly make you defensive.  Listen, if anyone understands and appreciates the server closet, it's us!  We don't want to take away your happy place, but we do want to open your mind to the possibilities of what a cloud based dd provider software can do for your agency and the risks you mitigate by having it hosted in the cloud.  By the end of this blog post, my goal is to have you looking at your server closet in a new light - it's still your happy place but maybe it doesn't have all of those servers, just one.  What if you could fit a comfy chair in there?  Maybe you really could eat lunch in there, with a guest!  Let's find out how this is possible.

PAR Solutions Conference 2013

Posted by Tony Conte on Tue, Nov 26, 2013 @ 02:19 PM

The annual PAR Solutions Conference was last week in Harrisburg, PA.  PAR was incorporated in 1970 as a statewide, not-for-profit organization.   PAR members provide the full range of supports and services to more than 47,000 individuals with intellectual disabilities, including over 8,000 children and adults living with autism, in over 8,100 locations.  The yearly conference gives all its members a chance to meet with one another and share ideas between
agencies.  MediSked has been a partner and member of PAR for several years and had the honor of being a vendor at this year’s conference.   The highlights for me this year and every conference I attend is meeting the people and showing them MediSked Connect.
