Meritel Group President & CEO Joins Doctor's Digest Advisory Board
Canton, Michigan -Meritel Group LLC, an information technology and management support provider,
is pleased to announce that Kalyan Sennerikkupam, President & CEO, has been invited to join the Advisory Board of the publication Doctor's
Digest, Small Practice Survival Guide. Doctor's Digest provides physicians and allied healthcare professionals with practical
how-to-solutions from thought leaders and experts to make their clinical practice and professional careers more successful and satisfying.
Mr. Sennerikuppam has over 15 years experience in the technology sector, managing projects and providing IT solutions
to business communities throughout the United States, Europe, and Asia. In addition, he actively serves as a consultant and CIO to
physicians and practice professionals. Sitting on the Advisory Board enables him to counsel practices on how to adopt technology in
order to streamline their workflow and everyday processes. According to Mr. Sennerikuppam, "Many practices large or small do not know
how to adopt technology whether it is for billing, practice management, or electronic records management. This is where an evaluation
and consultation conducted by myself and Meritel Group is certainly beneficial. In fact, there have been instances when we have
determined that a practice is not yet ready for an electronic process and in these cases our best advice is not to spend the money.
Our goal is to always work in their best interest."
In the May/June 2008 issue of Doctor's Digest,
Mr. Sennerikuppam offers his opinion in the section, "Making Tech
Dollars Count", by discussing how physicians are now accessing

To Be or Not to Be: The E-Commerce Decision
By
Kalyan Sennerikuppam and Karen Anderson
E-Commerce, to be or not to be? Alas, that is
the question for many nonprofits. More and more have begun to
accept donations, take registrations, and sell products through
the Internet. However, you must carefully consider whether e-Commerce
is truly a viable tool for your agency, and you must not become
overwhelmed by the sheer number and variety of available online
payment tools.
Before investing, specifically define what you
hope to gain then validate your hopes against available technologies.
Just because "everyone" is taking credit card payments, don't
be tempted to immediately assume it is for you. Credit cards should
allow you to make money for your organization and/or better serve
your clients.
Accepting donations online is more expensive
than receiving a mailed check due to transaction fees on each
payment, plus other ongoing charges. If your organization has
a limited specific base of donors who are perfectly comfortable
just writing out a check, accepting credit cards may not be a
good option.
However, if you target a wide audience with the
goal of receiving a large quantity of smaller donations, particularly
if it is geared to the younger, tech-savvy audience, online fundraising
may be for you. Do not simply slap an online payment option onto
your current website as an answer to your dreams. Carefully plan
your fundraising strategy.
Partner with a stable, reputable vendor who best
suits your needs and can offer a variety of service packages.
The most economical ways to credit card process include: instant
payment processing, Internet merchant accounts, telephone credit
card processing, and PC processing with Point-of Sale Software.
Investigate and ask questions about set up, transactional and
ongoing fees, merchant accounts, and if there is 24/7 customer
service. Select an SSL certified vendor with a solid procedure
for site security. See if you need a payment gateway to facilitate
communication between you and the banks. Less reputable vendors
may require this, but not make the implications clear. In other
words, ask questions. Reputable companies will provide you with
a solid package, putting you on a path to e-Commerce success.
