7. The new version of EMS is
“light years ahead of where it was; easier to use.”

On a scale of 1 to 10 for how different new eProc is from old
(10 being greatest difference)…
…It’s a 10. eProc Wizard is radically different.
On a scale of 1 to 10 for how intuitive the new eProc Wizard is
(10 being most intuitive)….
...It’s definitely a 10. It’s very intuitive and easy to use.
10. Going back a couple of years ago we would show EMS and
have to “defend the system” as technically capable but not very
user friendly….that was an incredibly hard thing to sell uphill
against. The negative comments about our UI, usability, and
general “look and feel” are now “non-issues” – which levels the
playing field and allows me to now compete on an equal sales
level. That is HUGE for me and the sales team.
Thank you for that.

11. “I was so excited when I got a report the first time I tried to use
it. The wizard is great!!! “
“I love the AQM Wizard. I had never even attempted to create
an AQM report before…well once, but gave up. This wizard is
great. I created a report and the first time got the data I
needed.”
Nathalie Leroux
(Symphony SMS)
12. I get positive feedback on our AQM module and the ease of
use for e-Proc. The trend in our application is positive and we
are continuing that through 11.10. I’m not currently on 11.10 in
my demo region but I will be updating that shortly. I have shown
Michele’s instance and I’ve gotten positive feedback on the
new Automatic Dispute Notification and User 360 module.”
