Trans-Tasman clinical and practice management software vendor Best Practice (Bp) is keeping a close eye on movement in the New Zealand primary care market as it prepares for a NZ version of its flagship Bp Premier product and continues work on its future cloud-based version, nicknamed Titanium.

Bp first entered what was then a tight market of four players offering general practice software in April 2015, when it bought the assets and IP of Hamilton-based vendor Houston Medical, developer of the VIP.net software package predominantly used by specialists and a handful of GPs.
