The truth about traditional software
Traditional legacy desktop software places a huge hardware burden on dental organizations, requiring them not only to pay for the practice management software itself, but also for the hardware that runs that software—typically in the form of servers. Add to that the networking, the remote login functionality, the layers of additional reporting and third-party tools to combine data from multiple locations, the security, the backups, the redundancy, and the total cost of ownership for desktop software quickly consumes a big portion of any IT budget.
The Denticon cloud solution
With Denticon, many of those costs are eliminated and replaced with a predictable, monthly subscription rate, because we host your data for you in the cloud and we’re able to spread our costs across our entire user base, passing along the savings to you. By ditching their legacy systems and moving to the Denticon cloud, Denticon users save an average of 40% in total cost of ownership.
