San Diego, CA. (March 17, 2004) –

Acrendo Software announced today that it has signed Atlanta Consulting Group to resell AImed (pronounced a-eye-med), Acrendo’s MS Windows-based, integrated Medical Practice Management software. This partnership will increase Acrendo’s marketing and sales coverage for AImed in the Southeast, while providing Atlanta Consulting Group with a low-cost, high-value practice management software suite appropriate for small/medium-sized medical clinics.

Atlanta Consulting Group has already begun to market AImed in its territory, and is seeing strong interest in the product. “Acrendo’s aggressive price points combined with the tight integration of AImed’s Scheduling, Billing and EMR functions add up to a very attractive offering for all but the very largest medical practices, stated Dr. Toby Bailey, President of Atlanta Consulting Group. Many Practices simply can’t afford the high prices typically found in the market today. AImed enables us to automate entire practices, creating great efficiencies with a very modest investment.”

Practices using AImed are able to realize reductions in data entry of up to 50% versus standalone applications, and the savings relative to paper-based manual methods is even greater. AImed’s intuitive, yet flexible Scheduling functionality is second to none in the Practice Management software industry. The optional EMR module eases the entry of patient data via integration with document scanners and Dragon NaturallySpeaking®-Medical Edition. Onscreen drawing and image editing tools along with a powerful, custom-template creation tool are major features of the EMR module. The Billing Module, also optional, features such powerful benefits as fast rebilling of old claims, real-time patient updating from the ledger screen, and the ability to view ledger notes while posting payments. AImed is backed by an unconditional 30 day money back guarantee.

“We are very excited about our new partnership with Atlanta Consulting Group,” said Phil Morettini, Executive Vice President, Acrendo Software. “Atlanta Consulting Group’s wide array of healthcare industry knowledge and services, coupled with their existing market presence in the Southeast, are a perfect complement to our AImed software suite. We look forward to serving many new customers through our partnership.”

AImed 4.5 is shipping and available directly from Acrendo and through select Value-Added Resellers, such as Atlanta Consulting Group. Entry-level prices start below $1000. For more information visit http://www.acrendo.com or contact the company directly at sales@acrendo.com or 858.268.1150 .
