Cloud software you can rely on

In the dental market, there are a number of different practice management software solutions to choose from - all vying for your attention. But what should you be looking for when choosing the best dental software for your practice and how do you dispel the myths and cut through the marketing slogans?

Cloud technology quietly exists in many aspects of our everyday lives, from keeping us connected to family and friends, entertaining us, allowing us to work remotely and more. For dentistry in recent years, we have seen cloud prove to be transformative and it will continue to support dental practitioners as we deal with the ongoing repercussions of COVID-19, rising costs of living, staff shortages and more.

However, not all cloud is the same! Let’s just talk about the seven key features that are at the heart of cloud practice management software so you know what to look for when talking to a supplier when talking about moving your practice management software.

1. Save money – eliminates the need for buying expensive hardware and removes maintenance costs.

2. Scalability – the ability to scale elastically whenever needed.

3. Performance – the biggest cloud computing services run on a worldwide network of secure data centres, which means that they are using some of the most efficient tech available.

4. Security – robust policies, technologies and controls are all in place that strengthen the security of your data and protect against potential threats.

5. Speed – vast amounts of resources can be provisioned to ensure that speed is never an issue.

6. Productivity – no set up or maintenance required.

7. Reliability – continuity of service is guaranteed by spreading the way the service is delivered across multiple servers.

Dentally’s cloud practice management software, has these core elements at its heart - but with the added advantage of being designed in collaboration with dentists. Dentally is all about ease of use and if we may - and to save you some time, let's just take a moment to explore these key features.
