It is anticipated that any broker-dealers participating in such sales of securities will receive the usual and customary selling commissions.

Schonau, Chief Financial Officer -- Secretary/Treasurer. 2 4 RISK FACTORS THE PURCHASE OF THE COMMON STOCK OFFERED HEREBY INVOLVES SUBSTANTIAL RISK. THE FOLLOWING MATTERS, INCLUDING THOSE MENTIONED ELSEWHERE, SHOULD BE CONSIDERED CAREFULLY BY A PROSPECTIVE INVESTOR IN EVALUATING A PURCHASE OF THE COMMON STOCK. Variability of Quarterly Operating Results; Seasonality. The Company's revenues and operating results can vary significantly from quarter to quarter as a result of a number of factors, including the volume and timing of systems sales and installations and product deliveries from the Company's vendors. The timing of such revenues from systems sales is difficult to forecast because the Company's sales cycle can vary depending upon factors such as the size of the transaction and general economic conditions. Because a significant percentage of the Company's expenses are relatively fixed, a variation in the timing of systems sales can cause significant variations in operating results from quarter to quarter. The Company's future operating results may fluctuate as a result of these and other factors, such as customer purchasing patterns and the timing of new product and service introductions and product upgrade releases. In addition, the Company's revenues from system sales have historically followed seasonal patterns with a lower level of sales occurring in the first quarter of the year and a greater level of sales occurring in the fourth quarter of the year. Uncertainty in Healthcare Industry; Government Healthcare Reform Proposals. The healthcare industry is subject to changing political, economic and regulatory influences that may affect the procurement practices and operation of healthcare facilities. During the past several years, the healthcare industry has been subject to an increase in governmental regulation of, among other things, reimbursement rates and certain capital expenditures. Many lawmakers have announced that they intend to propose programs to reform the U.S. healthcare system. These programs may contain proposals to increase governmental involvement in healthcare, lower reimbursement rates, and otherwise change the operating environment for the Company's customers. Healthcare providers may react to these proposals and the uncertainty surrounding such proposals by curtailing or deferring investments, including those for the Company's products and related services. Cost-containment measures instituted by healthcare providers as a result of regulatory reform or otherwise could result in greater selectivity in the allocation of capital funds. Such selectivity could have an adverse effect on the Company's ability to sell its products and related services. The Company cannot predict with any certainty what impact, if any, such proposals or healthcare reforms might have on its business, financial condition, and results of operations. Competition. The Company faces significant competition from a number of different sources. Physician practice management systems are offered to physicians by competitors of the Company, including software vendors, systems integrators, and computer hardware manufacturers. Data processing organizations also compete with the Company by providing computerized billing, claims processing, and record management services to medical offices. In addition, healthcare reform, cost containment efforts, and other developments in the healthcare market are causing new computer-based systems to be developed to automate and make more efficient the methods for recording and paying healthcare claims. Certain claims processing organizations, hospitals, third-party administrators, hospital systems organizations, insurers, banks, and a variety of healthcare organizations now provide computer and/or other electronic data transmission systems, which sometimes include medical office management software, to physicians which provide a direct data-link between the physician and the organization. Also, other firms may seek to establish competitive networks linking physicians electronically with a variety of healthcare organizations. The opportunities to sell practice management systems and to provide claims processing and related services to large healthcare providers such as hospitals, health maintenance organizations, and preferred provider organizations could attract significant additional competition to the market. While management believes that no vendor dominates the overall market for physician practice management systems and no service provider dominates the overall market for claims processing services, certain of the Company's existing and potential competitors have substantially greater resources than the Company. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to compete successfully with its competitors in the future. New Products and Services; Technological Changes. The market for physician practice management systems is characterized by continual change and improvement in computer hardware and software 3 5 technology, as well as in services. Although the Company believes that its products and services continue to be competitive in the marketplace, the Company intends to continue to upgrade and enhance its products and services. The Company's success will depend upon the Company's ability to enhance its current products and services, to introduce new products and services which keep pace with technological and market developments, and to address the increasingly sophisticated needs of its customers. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in developing, marketing, and/or licensing from third parties, on a timely basis, product or service enhancements or new products or services that respond to advances by others, or that its new products or services will adequately address the needs of, or be accepted by, the market. Market and Product Concentration. The Company would be materially adversely affected by an overall decline or other material change in the market for physician practice management systems and for claims processing services. During the nine-month period ending September 30, 1995, approximately 36% of the Company's net revenues were derived from sales of the CS3000 and related products and from claims processing services. There can be no assurance that sales levels of the CS3000 and the revenue from claims processing will increase or be sustained. Acquisitions. The Company's expansion strategy involves the acquisition of complementary businesses, products, services, and technologies, as well as internal growth. There can be no assurance, however, that any future acquisitions will not have an adverse effect upon the Company's operating results, particularly immediately following the consummation of such transactions when the operations of the acquired business are being integrated into the Company's operations. Product Liability. Certain of the Company's products provide applications that relate to patient medical histories and treatment plans. Any failure by the Company's products to provide accurate and timely information could result in claims against the Company. The Company maintains insurance to protect against claims associated with the use of its products, but there can be no assurance that its insurance coverage would adequately cover any claim asserted against the Company. A successful claim brought against the Company in excess of its insurance coverage could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition, and results of operations. Even unsuccessful claims could result in the Company's expenditure of funds in litigation, as well as diversion of management time and resources. There can be no assurance that the Company will not be subject to product liability claims, that such claims will not result in liability in excess of its insurance coverages, that the Company's insurance will cover such claims, or that appropriate insurance will continue to be available to the Company in the future at commercially reasonable rates. Dependence on Proprietary Technology. The Company relies on a combination of the trade secret, copyright and trademark laws, nondisclosure and other contractual provisions, and technical measures to protect its proprietary rights in its products. There can be no assurance that these protections will be adequate or that the Company's competitors will not independently develop technologies that are substantially equivalent or superior to the Company's technology. Although the Company believes that its products, trademarks, and other proprietary rights do not infringe upon the proprietary rights of third parties, there can be no assurance that third parties will not assert infringement claims against the Company in the future. Dependence on Key Personnel. The success of the Company is dependent to a significant degree on its key management and technical personnel, including its Chairman of the Board of Directors, President and Chief Executive Officer, Jim H. Houtz. The Company believes that its continued future success will also depend upon its ability to attract, motivate, and retain highly-skilled technical, managerial, and marketing personnel. Competition for such personnel in the software systems integration industry is intense. The loss of key personnel or the inability to hire or retain qualified personnel could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition, and results of operations. Although the Company has been successful to date in attracting and retaining skilled personnel, there can be no assurance that the Company will continue to be successful in attracting and retaining the personnel it requires to successfully develop new and enhanced products and to continue to grow and operate profitably. Possible Volatility of Stock Price. The stock market has from time to time experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations, particularly in the high technology sector, which have often been unrelated to the operating performance of particular companies. In addition, factors such as announcements of technological 4 6 innovations or new products by the Company or its competitors or third parties, as well as market conditions in the computer software or hardware industries, may have a significant impact on the market price of the Common Stock. Effect of Certain Certificate of Incorporation Provisions. The Company's Certificate of Incorporation contains certain provisions that could have the effect of making it more difficult for a third party to acquire, or of discouraging a third party from attempting to acquire, control of the Company. Such provisions could limit the price that certain investors might be willing to pay in the future for shares of the Common Stock. In addition, the Company has entered into a Shareholder Rights Agreement that could have the effect of discouraging a third party from attempting to acquire control of the Company. RECENT DEVELOPMENTS On December 21, 1995, the Company announced a one-time $3.8 million technology charge related primarily to previously developed software technology the Company will replace with more advanced products. The most significant portion of the charge relates to the Company's previously developed medical records technology, which will be replaced by a more advanced product licensed from Wang Laboratories, Inc. through a marketing services agreement entered into earlier this year. Another significant portion of the charge relates to a main frame version of the CS3000, which the Company has determined will not be viable in a client-server environment. The charge will result in a loss for the quarter ended December 31, 1995. USE OF PROCEEDS All 21,430 shares of Common Stock offered hereby are being offered by the Selling Stockholder. The Company will not receive any proceeds from the sale of Common Stock by the Selling Stockholder. SELLING STOCKHOLDER On December 1, 1995, Richard D. Jugel Company ("Jugel") merged with and into the Company pursuant to an Agreement of Merger, dated December 1, 1995 (the "Agreement"). At the time of the merger, the Selling Stockholder owned all of the issued and outstanding shares of the capital stock of Jugel. Under the terms of the Agreement, Selling Stockholder's shares of Jugel common stock were automatically cancelled and extinguished and were converted into 21,430 shares of the Company's Common Stock. Under the Agreement, the Company is required to register for public sale those shares of Common Stock issued to Selling Stockholder. This Prospectus is a part of the Registration Statement filed by the Company in order to satisfy this requirement. In addition, in connection with the Agreement, the Company entered into a four-year Employment Agreement with Selling Stockholder and Selling Stockholder executed a Non-Competition Agreement in favor of the Company. The following table provides certain information with respect to the Common Stock owned by the Selling Stockholder as of December 29, 1995. PERCENTAGE OF PERCENTAGE OF NO.

(2) Assumes that Selling Stockholder disposes all of the shares of Common Stock covered by this Prospectus and does not acquire any additional shares of Common Stock. 5 7 PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION This Prospectus relates to the sale of 21,430 shares of Common Stock by Selling Stockholder. The Selling Stockholder may from time to time effect sales of Common Stock in one or more transactions pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act, in privately negotiated transactions, or in ordinary broker's transactions on the New York Stock Exchange, at the price prevailing at the time of such sales, at prices relating to such prevailing market prices, or at negotiated prices. It is anticipated that any broker-dealers participating in such sales of securities will receive the usual and customary selling commissions. The Company will pay all of the expenses incident to the registration of the Common Stock offered hereby, other than commissions and selling expenses with respect to the Common Stock being sold by the Selling Stockholder.

INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS Reference is made to Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the "Delaware GCL"), as amended from time to time ("Section 145"), which provides for indemnification of directors and officers of a corporation in certain circumstances. Under Article VIII of the registrant's Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, the registrant shall, to the full extent permitted by Section 145, indemnify all persons whom it may indemnify pursuant thereto. Additionally, Article VIII provides, among other matters, that the right to indemnification is a contract right, that the registrant is expressly authorized to procure insurance, that advancements of expenses by the registrant is mandatory (except as limited by law), and for certain procedural mechanisms for the benefit of indemnified parties. Section 5.2 of the By-Laws of the registrant provides for indemnification of directors and officers of the registrant. The provisions of Section 5.2, among other matters, require the registrant to indemnify certain persons to the fullest extent authorized by the Delaware GCL, as the same may now exist or may hereafter be amended. Section 5.2 provides that such indemnification is not exclusive of any other rights under, for example, an indemnity contract, or a vote of shareholders or disinterested directors. Such indemnification rights continue as to any person who has ceased to be a director or officer and inure to the benefit of the person's heirs, executors, and administrators. The registrant currently maintains directors' and officers' liability insurance to supplement the protection provided in the registrant's By-Laws and to fund any indemnification payments that the registrant may be required to make. Such insurance is renewable annually and is subject to standard terms and conditions, including exclusions from coverage. ITEM 16.

UNDERTAKINGS The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes: (1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement: (i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933; (ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement. (iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement; provided, however, That paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) of this section do not apply if the registration statement is on Form S-3, Form S-8 or Form F-3, and the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement. (2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. (3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering. The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the provisions described in Item 15 above, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. II-2 11 SIGNATURES Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements for filing on Form S-3 and has duly caused this registration statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized in the City of Scottsdale, State of Arizona, on December 29, 1995.
