Frequently Asked Questions
There are lots of companies that promise to provide technology support. How is Alpheon Assure different?
We understand the healthcare industry. More private physician practices rely on Alpheon Assure more than any other provider, to keep their networks secure and up and running at all times. Alpheon maintains long-time, strategic partnerships with healthcare technology vendors and truly understands the role technology plays in caring for patients.
We are an industry leader. We are ranked as the nation’s #3 provider by MSPmentor.net, the leading, third-party source on the managed services industry and year after year, are named a top MSP in the Triangle.
We’re more than just tech experts. Your account team at Alpheon consists of technology expertise and business consultants with a true understanding of your needs. Our talented bench of technicians can troubleshoot any IT issue and are patient, friendly, and dependable. While our senior-level, business-savvy consultants work side by side with you to help you plan for the unexpected. Together, there is no technology issue we can’t solve.
We eliminate the techno-babble. Technology is increasingly confusing, so we strive to make it simple. With Alpheon, you don’t have to worry about working with tech geeks that speak in seemingly foreign languages – we make technology understandable and useful, and we make it work for you.
The same team is there for you every time you call. Managed service providers are notorious for high turnover rates. But, at Alpheon, we pride ourselves in our employee retention rate – maybe that’s one of the reasons we are consistently named one of the “Best Places to Work” in the Triangle. You can trust that every time you call, the same people will be there for you and will troubleshoot the issue in no time at all. No need to worry about talking to rookie engineers who aren’t familiar with your practice.
We do more than react to IT issues. We help you prevent them in the first place. We constantly monitor and manage your network with no interruptions to you so that you can continue on with business as usual.
We understand your practice. Technology is becoming increasingly complex, so we work with you from day one to make it simple. We sit down with you and your staff to establish and implement guidelines on how to best work together. These smart processes have been proven over hundreds of client engagements and will save you time and frustration down the road.
However, the proof of how we’re different is best explain in our customers’ words. See for yourself what our customers have to say.
