Reaching Over 1000 Physicians in the Southwest
Final Support Celebrates 2nd Anniversary with Extreme Growth

North Richland Hills, Texas – (November 7, 2002) – Final Support, Inc., a leading provider of software solutions for doctors in the Southwest, recently celebrated the two-year anniversary of their business. With their unique approach to providing “Select Systems Solutions”, the company is reaching physicians across the country by offering the best of breed in software support options, practice management solutions, electronic medical records, EDI solutions, HIPAA compliance packages, custom network services as well as other practice enhancement products.

Kurt Dykema and Mark Spates, former veterans in sales and service of The Medical Manager, started Final Support by reaching a niche group of physician practices desiring additional options in support of their computer systems. Dykema and Spates, former owners of Management Solutions Unlimited, Inc., one of the largest Medical Manager dealerships in the country, formed Final Support with the simple approach to providing superior customer service and support to physician practices on The Medical Manager software system. It did not take long to realize that providing their customers with a choice in their software support was eminent and the business model was successfully expanded to providing the “Best of Breed” in both practice management and electronic medical records systems. “We are very pleased with the success of the company. We have some of the most experienced technicians and staff in the industry providing support and account management to our clients. We plan to always maintain a personal customer-friendly approach and believe we will continue to grow our business with this philosophy,” says Kurt Dykema, President-Sales.

“We really didn’t have many options before we found Final Support. For the past couple of years, prices for software support have been on the rise, and the level of service has been decreasing. We’re very pleased with Final Support. They know the Medical Manager program inside and out, and their response is always fast”, states Barbara Welch, a Final Support customer in Sherman, Texas.

“Final Support was an enormous improvement over our previous support team. The phones are answered by people who care about your problem”, states Cassie Smith of Denton, Texas.

Some of the “best of breed” software systems offered by Final Support include the Millbrook Practice Manager, as well as Elligence, CompuMedic and Medisoft practice management solutions. Final Support has quickly become a leading provider of the Millbrook system. Only offering the system for the past year, they are currently the number one distributor for the state of Texas. Final Support also offers a variety of electronic medical records solutions, as well as physician practice enhancements, including EncounterPro, MediNotes’ Charting Plus, Allscripts, FinalTalk voice recognition software and ImpactMD, a document imaging solution.

Final Support plans to continue growing their business with personalized customer service and continuing to add “best-of-breed” solutions for doctors to their product mix. The company has just recently added several multi-physician sites including Alliance Medical Group, a California-based physician group, and a 13 practice medical group in North Texas.
