Credenza Pro is a Secure Cloud Solution Backed by Microsoft® Azure

There are a number of reasons why some people are choosing cloud solutions. For some, it is the “pay-as-you-go” subscription model that is attractive. For others, it’s the security and data safety considerations that stand out. For still others, the lure of moving to the cloud is having no setup required to get their practice management systems up and running.

Credenza Pro, launched in August 2011, is a new cloud-based practice management system that wins on all three counts. Its central database is securely hosted in Microsoft Azure – and data hosting just doesn’t get any more secure than that. You may have already heard that Credenza Pro is just $24.95/month. And since it’s a cloud solution with its user interface in Outlook® - the program most PC-based professionals already use in their practices - it’s extremely simple to use and doesn’t require any setup!

As a cloud solution, Credenza Pro can be accessed from anywhere in the world using just an Internet connection and Outlook. As long as you have an Internet connection you can use Credenza Pro, and share information with other users.  Users with any questions can contact Credenza’s support department, since all updates and unlimited technical support are included in the Credenza Pro subscription.

Credenza Pro is a new way for professionals to share practice information in the cloud. In Credenza Pro when one person puts information on a File, everyone who is sharing that File information can access it – but the personal information of each user remains private. Whether your team is 2 or 200, you can share documents, billing, execute group calendaring and task delegation, and access common emails on each file without ever worrying that the privacy of your information has been breached.

Most importantly, with Credenza Pro you don’t have to worry about the security of your data at all. The world-leading security of Microsoft Azure guarantees optimum uptime and ensures that all Credenza Pro data is automatically backed up on redundant servers. You can relax in the knowledge that the Credenza Pro database on your own local computer is fully encrypted to protect your information. When you utilize the product’s multi-user practice management feature, Microsoft’s central database enables the synchronization of that information with other users. As a valued provider who supports Credenza’s vision, Microsoft recently produced a case study showcasing Credenza’s use of Microsoft technologies.

Customers call Credenza Pro the best of both worlds, which enables collaboration with colleagues and web-accessible practice management using Outlook when online – while still allowing users to use Outlook with all of their own data when they are offline.

In upcoming blog posts we’ll be highlighting some of Credenza Pro’s other features like multi-user practice management, billing and collections, web-based document management, fast and easy system-wide search, and batch billing. Stay tuned!
