Transcend bought MDI, so if Transcend sends work offshore, so does MDI. nm

That doesn't fly - KS doesn't offshore

Webmedx doesn't offshore (nm)

No, they can NOT go offshore if the client doesn't allow it!
How many times do I have to say it?

If the client/account requires that the work stay here in the US, then the work stays in the US.
Offshore doesn't make any more sense than
The work is being outsourced offshore or is referring to offshore outsourcing.  If you're going to be picky about the term, at least be picky about the correct terms.
Work for a company that doesn't offshore

Wbx doesn't even send work offshore. nm

But in my experience, offshore men do it more and lie about stuff that doesn't matter.

Just because it is American run doesn't mean it isnt offshore owned.

Doesn't it bother you that they send work offshore? nm

Focus doesn't offshore to India, they are an Indian company
that offshores to the U.S.  They have an office front in MA, I think.

TRANSCEND SERVICES INC
Transcend Services Inc is the company.  Employees are saying that they are offshoring but there has been no confirmation of this.  Could you confirm this for us?  I think they have an ad up in the Job Seekers board and I am confused.  Thank you for your help.
Transcend Services does....sm
and they just gave out holiday gift cards to the employees!
Transcend Services
I have a question about Transcend.  I used to work for them and am thinking about going back, but I've heard through the grapevine that they are sending 3/4 of their work to India--can anyone confirm this?  I only work for American companies who deal with only American workers.  Thanks for your help.

Any new information on Transcend? TIA
Transcend Services
Does anyone work for or have any information on Transcend Services.  How are they to work for, pay, etc.  Any information would be greatly appreciated. 
Transcend Services
Hi Patty - I have worked for Transcend for almost 3 years and am now a team lead. I have always found the company to be very fair in both pay scale and employee relations. They are very open to discussion about almost anything. I would say go for it. Email me if you would like. Sue

We have platforms compatible with Vista.

Has anyone heard anything good or bad about this company? Has anyone worked for or are you working for this company now? Thanks much.

Transcend Services is the best


Congrats to Transcend and MDI. We hope the transition will be smooth for everyone. If any MDI employees have any questions or need help with anything, let me know and I will do my best to help with any Transcend questions you may have. I have been with Transcend for over 7 years and lot it. I love my coworkers. We all support each other with everything. We are one big family.

As a Transcend customer for 11 years, I find them a very reputable company.  They have provided great customer servince and excellend services for our facility for 11 years.  Their Executive Leadership deserve to be commended for their dedication to their customers and employees.
work at transcend services inc

How is the work at Transcend Services?  is there a steady workload?  Are the managers helpful and the platform good to work on?  Was thinking about applying.


Thank you.


Transcend does not offshore.
There are a lot of companies who do offshore and I understand the frustration, but please check your facts before you post.  Transcend does not and has not ever offshored any of their work. 
MDI does not offshore, Transcend does

I really like MDI .

Transcend Services Inc Confirmation of offshoring?

Has it been confirmed by the company on this board that they are offshoring work?


I am still not sure if I should go with them or not. 


RE: Transcend Services Inc Confirmation of offshoring?
No.
I had been offered QA for Transcend Services and MXSecure...sm
but declined both. MXSecure took forever to check my references, etc...plus I believe they outsource and when questioning the guy, he denied it but their website says so.  So, that turned me away from them.  Transcend Services offers QA for voice recognition.  I was unfamiliar with that and their process, but they sent me equipment quickly and they seemed friendly, but turned them down.  They both had a production quota.  MXSecure's seemed a bit high; Transcend Services seemed more reasonable.  Hope this helps.  This is just what they had told me.  No real experience, though, with working for either.  Good luck!
Transcend Services bought MDI for $16.2 million.

I didnt realize it was that much!  No wonder they feel no loyalty to their old MT's!  ,,,everybody has a price I guess.


The $16.2 million purchase price consists of $10.2 million in cash payable at closing (less any existing indebtedness assumed and plus or minus certain working capital and tax-related adjustments), $2.0 million in cash payable after receipt of interim financial statements and audited financial statements for the last two fiscal years, a $2.0 million note payable to the selling shareholder due one year after closing, and $2.0 million of Transcend common stock (119,940 shares). The initial cash portion of the purchase price is expected to be funded using a combination of cash on hand and up to $7.0 million in bank term debt.


Larry Gerdes, Chief Executive Officer of Transcend, said, MDI's strong presence in the mid-Atlantic region significantly expands Transcend's national footprint. We are confident that MDI's culture of excellence and total commitment to customers and employees will help ensure the success of this transaction. We look forward to working together to integrate our operations over the next several months.


I recognized that we needed a larger partner to achieve our long-term growth objectives, said MDI Chief Executive Officer Dorothy Fitzgerald. A critical concern for me was to find a partner that recognized MDI's potential and was committed to providing excellent customer service. I am convinced that Transcend is the best partner for MDI, its employees and customers.


Sue McGrogan, Transcend's President and Chief Operating Officer added, I have known Dorothy Fitzgerald for years. Like me, Dorothy is committed to outstanding customer service, which is reflected in her high customer retention rates. In her new role, Dorothy will be President of our MDI subsidiary. She will report to Leo Cooper, Executive Vice President of Sales and Marketing, in order to focus on driving future growth, particularly in the mid-Atlantic region.

So it's true that Transcend is going to offshore.
Otherwise she would have denied it, right?
keystrokes does not use offshore help, transcend
uses it a lot- one day you have work, the next day its slim pickins' - and you are left holding no paycheck. Transcend is ruthless and cares nothing about its MLS. It is just there for the dollar and you have to slave over a horrible platform, doing more clerical functions to get far less lines. My advice is to run from Transcend - masters of deceit- as fast as you can.
Larry just said that Transcend does offshore.

SOAP Transcription and Transcend Services? Need to decide.

Got job offers from both.  Pay and benefits look to be about the same.  Anyone work(ed) for either or have worked for both?  Good, bad, or any other comments regarding either company? 


How is the family health plan with each?  Cost? Coverage? 


Thanks.


Does Transcend offer PTO? It doesn't say in their ad.

I thought Transcend did not offshore work.

"For someone that doesn't work at Transcend...." sm
Note to TranscendMT: We are ALL in this together; it really doesn't matter which company YOU work for. It's data collection (wink wink) ;-) MTSO trends DO matter to ALL employees, not just employees of said company and the company cheerleaders can't stop people from posting on a public forum. A lot of us have been transcribing before there even was a “Transcend.”
Good luck.

Can anyone give me information on Transcend Services Voice Recognition editors? sm
I was offered a job with them.  Curious as to how good their benefits are, how easy the program is, and if the dictations are REALLY awful or just as any others.  Any input on anything to do with the company and/or information on Voice Recognition editors would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you in advance!
The insurance cost is double for Transcend but insurance probably doesn't factor in for her.
I have heard more good things about Axolotl than Transcend, although it seems Axolotl may be less flexible with your schedule and someone told me that QA was pretty strict, which should not matter either if you have worked for a hospital and know what your QA score is.
Weekly? Services are lucky if they get paid twice a month. Generally, services bill out to their

info on AMD Services/AmeriMed Data Services
Please help me. Does anyone know anything about AMD Services or AmeriMed Data Services. I have been offered a position with them and need to know if they pay good, etc. before I accept a position with them. Thanks in advance.

offshore overseas.... not outsource .... correct term is offshore.

This seems to be pro-offshore board. Messages against offshore often just disappear.

Doesn't apply if your OSI account doesn't use Ichart.
It is the Ichart only for OSi where you are cheated.

offshore to India, it's OFFSHORE (off shore), not outsource to India.

He doesn't trust VR, or doesn't trust his MT to train it correctly?
Or perhaps his MT(s) has/have been filling his head with horror stories about VR and how it is a lawsuit waiting to happen?

Personally, I don't see any reason an M.D. would not trust a VR program, unless he's seen the products of a report edited by a less than competent MT who didn't do their editing job appropriately.


We heard Transcend is buying Keystrokes next. I'm not working for Transcend. No Way !
