RED BIKE believes that electronic data management is inevitable.
RED BIKE BELIEVES that emsCharts is the total lowest cost of ownership software suite - and we are devoted to helping our clients optimize it.
Like software systems range in features - so do bikes. The question RED BIKE asks is, "What does the rider (user) really require and what is the best use of the rider's (user's) finite funds?
Like software systems - bike costs can be low or high. A top-line bicycle can set you back $6,000 to $12,000. It will get you from point A to point B - but so will a $200 bike. What are your objectives?
RED BIKE believes most EMS professionals want to get their data collection from Point A to Point B at the lowest cost of ownership and emsCharts provides highly robust reliable capabilities without high costs.

John Massie - President of emsCharts provides a sound description of True Cost of Ownership;
" True total cost of ownership consists of actual dollars spent on the software, related costs that are spent on handling, installing and supporting it and the RISK that it will do what is was purchased to do.
The risk factor is often over looked when evaluating the true cost of ownership. This risk costs can often be reduced by product warranties or guarantees. And too - the terms of the agreement, (e.g. monthly vs. long term.)

EGO vs. ECONOMY
BE CAREFUL BECAUSE EGO CAN SKEW True Total Cost of Ownership - just because another service has a very expensive brand - does not mean it is a more cost effective brand. Protect your dollars so that you can allocate them across your organization. More expensive - often does not result in more effective! Focus on outcomes and economy – not ego.
Compare e.APPLES to e.APPLES
Set up Value Justification Matrix – similar to how Consumer Reports rates products. This tool will enable you to objectively compare each software system you are evaluating. Try to keep the emotion out of it. (This will not happen – but try.)
12 Cylinders or 4 Cylinders What are Your True Power Requirements
Time and time again – organizations purchase software systems with capabilities far exceeding their actual user requirements. Just because a system will do 10,000 operations – will your users really use these? Yes – factor for increasing capabilities – but – top level companies will enable you to economically scale these up.
NO STRAINER SCALABILITY
Be very sure that it’s a “No Strainer” to scale up capabilities or modules. Meaning – it’s no strain – light lifting vs. heavy effort, highly costly and highly complex.
