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.

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:

"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.
