About Helix Hearing Care of America Corporation
Helix Hearing Care of America Corporation (HCA-TSE) is a leading provider of treatment and rehabilitation services for people with auditory disorders.As one of the fastest growing healthcare companies in North America,Helix Hearing Care ofAmerica has grown at an annual rate of 70% from 1997-2000 through acquisitions of independently owned businesses selling hearing care products and services.Today,the company provides management,administration and marketing services to a network of 124 clinics in North America.

Business Challenge
To provide a powerful,maintenance-free accounting solution that integrates new businesses under the parent company.

Pervasive.SQL 2000 Solution
Poised for growth in 1997,Helix could no longer rely on its entry-level software product to handle the company’s growing accounting needs.Helix called on Gestisoft,a premiere ACCPAC Business Partner,to implement an accounting solution that could keep pace with the company’s aggressive merger strategy.

At that time,Gestisoft recommended the ACCPAC Corporate Series™accounting software with Pervasive’s Btrieve 6.15 database engine. According to Gestisoft,Pervasive’s database was the fastest,lowest-cost-of-ownership database solution available—and the only one that could be deployed without a full-time database administrator.Since first installing the ACCPAC/Pervasive bundle,Gestisoft has assisted Helix with migrating the solution from Btrieve 6.15 to Pervasive.SQL 2000, Pervasive’s next generation database engine.Today,Helix has a dedicated server for more than 20 users to simultaneously access the accounting solution.

Bottom Line
Using database technology from Pervasive Software,Helix is taking advantage of the burgeoning hearing healthcare industry consolidation. As Helix Hearing  Care ofAmerica Corp.grows,it is assured that its critical accounting management solution can handle the demands.
