PRODUCT OVERVIEW
Experience has shown that international billing packages are complex and expensive to buy, operate and support. Whilst they provide a high level of functionality, much of it is either inappropriate, or difficult to apply in the local and regional operating environment. Also the high level of dependence on overseas suppliers means that there are invariable high costs and poor responses to support.
Given these factors Ibis Systems Limited decided, in 1999, to develop billing and information systems. The key requirements were for the systems to be:
- Locally owned and supported
- Based on an easy to implement modular design
- Relevant and scaleable functionality
- Easy to use and manage
- Affordable.
Ibis Software Modules
Ibis products are GUI based modular in design and built around a core module. There is seamless integration of “addon” modules to the core, which include medical property and utility modules.
CORE module for initial system setup, system management and administration such as user defined setup and user access, passwords etc. This module also includes the registration and maintenance of customer accounts, invoicing, statements and cash receipting as well as enquiries and reports.
The other modules can be found below:
