EMS Facility and Resource Scheduling System Sales to Healthcare Organizations up Nearly 200 Percent in 2006 over Prior Year

DENVER -- Dean Evans & Associates (DEA) (www.dea.com), a leading provider of facility and resource scheduling systems, today announced that sales to healthcare organizations were up nearly 200% in 2006 over the prior year. Strong momentum in this market helped contribute to a year in which sales were up 58% overall.

“I think healthcare organizations are becoming increasingly aware of our reputation for quality products and our commitment to continually refining and improving them,” said Bryan Peck, the company’s Northeast account executive in the healthcare market. “And just as importantly, they are hearing from our existing customers that our customer support is outstanding.”

“Dean Evans & Associates has taken the time to understand the needs of the healthcare industry,” says Chris Gootee, client server analyst at Baptist Healthcare System, one of the largest not-for-profit healthcare systems in Kentucky. “We had been using a variety of methods to track reservations, but each of them had their own set of challenges. EMS has eliminated double-bookings, saved time for meeting organizers, and raised the customer service scores that we receive from attendees. And the technical support offered by DEA is excellent. You can tell they take pride in offering the best support and a fast solution to their customers.”

“No matter how well-designed a software system is, users of that system are eventually going to encounter technical hurdles or just shortcomings in their understanding of the system’s features and functions,” says Kevin Raasch, executive vice president for DEA. “When you can give them the answers they need quickly and clearly, you not only increase their productivity, you also decrease their stress level. Our customers report in survey after survey that our support team excels at being both attentive and knowledgeable, and the significant growth in sales to healthcare organizations from 2005 to 2006 tells us that the word is making its way to this market.”
