Did you know? That the Windows 2012 operating system is one of the most common servers used amongst dental practitioners, and by October 2023 the support of this server will be coming to end. Microsoft will no longer provide security updates, bug fixes and technical support, resulting in dental practices across the globe having to upgrade or replace machines. This isn't the first time this has happened and won't be the last.  

Switching to a complete cloud solution removes the stress of outdated computers and system downs, with the ability to log in on any device with an internet connection and gives you the certainty that your dental practice will be supported by Dentally both now and in the future.
