The challenge was to effectively and efficiently manage business, and to stay ahead of the curve. A solution of technology was explored, and years were dedicated to designing, developing, and testing a prototype.With the help of the prototype, the Agency was able to grow from a small organization servicing families in the immediate area, to include hundreds of providers servicing over 1500 children and their families. It was the ability to increase productivity, maximize service delivery, carefully track referrals, monitor performance, meet all expected deadlines, decrease expenses, and exceed the standards during audits that facilitated this growth.ProviderSoft became a standalone technology firm in 2007, having successfully evolved from the experimental stage into a viable commercial software as a service company serving agencies across the nation. We are constantly striving to improve usability, performance, and feature-sets, and are constantly evolving to meet the ever-changing needs of health and education regulations. We do this by employing industry specialists, and of course, listening to the needs of our clients.LocationYour home! ProviderSoft's regular office is a virtual network.
