Sphere Announces Strategic Relationship with Unified Practice

PR Web

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (PRWEB) July 07, 2020

Sphere, the leading provider of end-to-end integrated payments and security software, today announced it has made a strategic investment in Unified Practice, a leading technology company that provides a fully integrated practice management and EHR system within the Holistic Medicine market. This relationship advances Sphere's broader strategy to expand and deepen its integrated payment solutions within high-growth vertical markets, specifically healthcare.

Based in Denver, Colorado, Unified Practice provides a clinic management system for independent clinics offering Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), massage and physical therapy. Their innovative technology gives practices the tools to manage their clinic all in one place. Unified Practice will offer clients Sphere merchant processing and secure gateway, leveraging frictionless boarding to facilitate easy onboarding.

A single source for technology and merchant processing, Sphere's secure payment platform supports:

  • Card-present and card-not-present transactions
  • Tokenization for secure data storage, card on file, and recurring payments
  • Validated Point to Point Encryption

"Unified Practice's reputation for providing innovative technology and superior service makes them a natural fit for Sphere," said Steve Rizzuto, Chief Executive Officer of Sphere. "The combination of Sphere and Unified Practice solutions will deliver a user-friendly and secure payment experience that is highly efficient. We are thrilled to have Unified Practice leverage Sphere's technology platform."

"A strategic partnership with Sphere was a no-brainer for us," Peter Ungureanu, Chief Executive Officer of Unified Practice said. "By combining our innovative technologies, we're able to provide our clinics with a seamless end-to-end payment processing system that streamlines the checkout process. Unified Practice's main goal is to make managing clinics as easy as possible for our practitioners and having an integrated payment processor like Sphere in place is an important piece of that goal."
