”There’s been a reduction in transcription errors and an increase in logging quality and consistency. We have cloud-based access from anywhere. Previously , we might have lost access to that data, or it may not have been as accessible if it was on a different server. Now , we have one central location for everything, and global cloud-based quality and security .
