Yes. They own the software, you don't, you only have 'licence' to
use. They will regard the manuals and the software on the discs as
their property and must be removed as they are 'commercially sensitive
information'.
They cannot just go in any odd time they like. They must give you
notice that allows you to prepare and extract the patient data.
If the disks are yours, don't let them have them as even after
formatting a HDD, data can remain!
Make sure that you have your replacement system well and truly in
place, functioning and everybody is trained before you finally pull
the plug on the old system.
I am in the middle of this process now. Ended the Vision contract,
installing Prit's PMP system, converting data and tarining the staff.
Hoping to go live next week and it's final curtain for Vision.
Prit actually sells you the system. It's yours! You don't get any of
this nonsense.
If anybody wants to see it in action, call me :-)
