Service Level Policy
Maintenance Periods
As a cloud-based technology platform, AdvancedMD periodically releases system patches and upgrades to ensure our clients continue to have access to a world-class system and the latest features we release. Our scheduled maintenance and patching is conducted once per week, within a two-hour window during non-peak hours, to minimize impact to your business. AdvancedMD will notify clients in advance for non-scheduled maintenance whenever possible.
Uptime Commitments
Our current service level objectives, measured monthly and excluding scheduled maintenance, are as follows (all times EST):
| Period | Timeframe | Uptime % Goal |
| Peak | Weekdays (Mon-Fri, 7 a.m. to 10 p.m.) | 99.5% |
| Peak | Weekends (Sat/Sun, 7 a.m. to 10 p.m.) | 99.0% |
| Non-Peak | Nights (Mon-Fri, 10 p.m. to 7 a.m.) | 95.0% |
These percentages indicate our uptime objective. For example, we aim to be down less than 0.5% of the time (less than 5 minutes per day average) during the 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. Week Day time periods.
Data Retrieval
Your data security is critical to us, which is why we store everything in our world-class data center, complete with biometric security, redundancy, and offsite backups. While we securely manage your information for you, it is always your data. AdvancedMD offers the ability for you to export your practice management data from our application anytime you like into Microsoft Access, giving you peace of mind and the flexibility you require.
