UPDATE: Due to the overwhelming response, HIMSA is no longer seeking additional users for our Noah 4 beta testing program. Thank you for your interest.

In 2011, HIMSA will release a completely new version of the NOAH System software, Noah System 4, the new wave in audiology software. To ensure a successful release, we need your help.

With Noah System 4, the Noah interface has been redesigned to dramatically improve usability, while maintaining complete compatibility with current NOAH 3 modules and patient data. The result is a more intuitive user experience and an efficient and faster workflow.

How you can help

In early November, HIMSA will begin beta testing Noah System 4, and the beta test is expected to last for three to four months.

The beta test is designed to be a test in a real life environment with real life data. This means we would expect beta testers to install Noah 4 in their practice. We are looking for audiologists who:

• Currently use NOAH System 3 in their practices (not a NOAH 3 compatible office system)
• Are willing to install and use Noah 4 in their practice
• Have the time to contact HIMSA with feedback on their experiences

The beta version of Noah 4 will be available in five languages – English, German, Spanish, French and Danish, and you are welcome to use any of these languages for the test. However, we would prefer your feedback in English.

More details on the beta version

HIMSA has already conducted preliminary testing at a number of sites using a pre-beta version, and the software will be tested on an additional 10 to 20 sites before we will make the beta version available to you. Therefore, we expect the beta version to be a very stable release.

During the test you will receive direct first line support from HIMSA. In addition, we will work closely with your usual support representatives so they are ready to help as well.

Your reward

If you are chosen as a beta tester for Noah 4, and fulfill all the responsibilities listed above, you will receive a free Noah 4 site license after the beta test is over as a token of our appreciation.

If this sounds interesting to you, please click here to send us an e-mail. You will be asked to fill in a questionnaire with details on your installation, so we are able to assist you during the test. Within the next few weeks, we will begin contacting interested audiologists to determine the best test sites for Noah 4.
