see what others are saying ABOUT HIGHERGROUND HigherGround's solution is as reliable as a hammer. You know it is going to work every time you use it. Because HigherGround's reporting software is so robust, we opted out of our switch vendor's similar service and ended up saving a lot of money. Also, we have rarely worked with a software provider that allowed the end-user to customize reports so easily and without incurring customization fees. Cymetrix Corporation - Del Davenport The system is very low maintenance. HigherGround's Client Support staff dial in, and provide automatic upgrades, and monitor for alarms. Our call abandonment rate is consistently less than 10% with an average speed of answer less than 18 seconds for non-emergency calls. We are heavily dependent on the capabilities provided by the HigherGround inc. Parkland Health & Hospital System - Sheila Cook-Dolcaime In my experience working with recording systems, none even come close to the HigherGround system.
