Are you concerned about the reliability or future serviceability of your aging Questek CareView System, but don’t have the immediate budget for an upgrade?

Alexys International is proud to introduce its own interest-free, deferred payment program for CMS head-end cut-overs – “Aptus Pay”. A typical upgrade ranges between $20 – $25k, allowing approved clients to make a 25% down payment and pay off the balance in 3-quarterly instalments over the ensuing 12 months.

The Aptus Critical Messaging System, with its native integration to all leading communication systems, Aware messaging App, Power BI, email, and more, literally breathes new life into your existing nurse call system.

Furthermore, to allay any concerns regarding security and support, Alexys’ 24/7 online remote diagnostics, programming, and legendary technical service are always available. Operational changes can be made simply through a web browser reducing costly site visits by service technicians for adds, moves, and changes. Updates are delivered “over the air” and without interruption, keeping your system up to date with the latest features is fundamental to the Aptus solution.

Then, when the time is right to upgrade to new call point hardware, the Aptus solution provides for the latest features and functionality, including Wi-Fi, POE (Power over Ethernet), BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy), RTLS (Real Time Location System), Auto presence, Duress, and much more.

Aptus is a world-class solution that can be delivered one component at a time. Most importantly, this upgrade approach entails minimum operational disruption, the Alexys technical team will pre-configure the CMS prior to delivery ensuring the entire physical cut-over will take under an hour.

For additional information on the Alexys head-end cut-over program, Aptus-Pay, and how it could address your facility’s immediate needs, please call Alexys Australia at 1300 ALEXYS or contact us at [email protected].
