Case study on SUMC
How SUMC Unified Four Practices Under One Technology Partner
How a growing Southeast urology MSO cut IT costs, unified four practices under one cloud platform, and turned complex onboarding into a repeatable process
Background
Southeast Urology Management Company (SUMC) is one of the Southeast’s growing urology MSOs, managing operations across multiple practices.
After years of managing Mobile independently, SUMC decided to expand and help other practices grow. But scaling meant they needed IT infrastructure they could trust—without breaking the budget.
A 15-year relationship built on trust, combined with the right platform and pricing, made Focus Solutions the clear choice.
“We needed to look for options that gave us the same service for less cost.”
