Participate in the Upcoming Managing a Public Practice Surveys Computerization Did you know that according to our 2008 Managing a Public Practice (MAPP) survey on Computerization: • A majority of firms with six or more Full Time Equivalents (FTEs) have a website, including 100% of firms with over 35 FTEs. Approximately one in five firms with one or two FTEs have a website. • Respondents spent an average of $45,000 on technology in the last fiscal year, an increase from $40,000 from the 2006 MAPP survey. This represents 3.5 percent of total revenue, a slight decline from 3.8 percent from the 2006 survey. • Most firms are sending information electronically. However, depending on the type of information being sent on average only between two in ten and three in ten respondents report protecting the information they send. Passwords are the most commonly used methods for safeguarding information. • 64 percent of the of the respondents use Remote Access software – Windows Remote Desktop remains the favorite among this type of software user. • 35 percent of the of respondents use Paperless Office software and Adobe Acrobat continues to be most frequently cited. • Dell continues to be the most frequently purchased computer brand by respondent firms. Will these trends continue or will there be significant changes? There is only one way to find out! Take part in the upcoming MAPP survey on Computerization. Thank you!
