Intended Single Source:

PracticePanther

Estimated Dollar Amount:

$19,200.00

Justification for single source acquisition (what is necessary and unique about the product, service or source; steps taken to confirm unavailability of competition, as appropriate):

PracticePanther is needed as a single source contract due to the resources that have already been spent configuring the system for our use this past fiscal year. Additionally, we explored several other products before selecting and beginning configuration of PracticePanther. This product was both best suited to our needs and offered no additional fees for data migration and configuration.

Other products we considered had fees for migration and configuration, were not compatible with our information security specifications, and had higher ongoing service costs.
