2022 IT & Practice Management Solution Survey Benchmarking Report

The IT & Practice Management Solution Survey was conducted in partnership with IT Simply in December 2021.  The report was released (Feb 2022) in partnership with IT Simply, as part of our Practice Management Solution Showcase.

Through the analysis of the survey results, ALPMA has gained insights from 241 firms across Australasia on their IT and practice management solution usage. This report highlights the current trends, challenges and functionality firms are seeking, making it a vital piece of any firm's review process for new IT services or platforms, in particular practice management systems.
