No More Servers, No More Hassle: How Dentally Simplifies Your IT Setup
Patient care isn’t the only asset of a successful practice – it’s also about understanding the systems that keep your business running. If your practice is still using an on-premises, server-based system, you already know the challenges: expensive hardware, ongoing IT maintenance, and the constant worry of backups and security risks.
At Software of Excellence, we’ve built and supported server-based practice management systems for decades – so we know exactly what it takes to keep them running. And we also know that on-premises solutions are no longer the best choice for the modern digital age.
That’s why Dentally, Henry Schein One’s cloud-based practice management software, is the next step for forward-thinking practices. It ends IT headaches, saves time, and lets you focus on what matters most – your patients.
The Hidden Costs of On-Premises Servers
Many practices don’t realise just how much on-premises software costs them – not just in direct expenses, but also in time, stress, and lost efficiency.
💰 Expensive Hardware Upgrades – On-premises solutions require costly servers that need replacing every few years. A high-quality server alone can cost thousands, not to mention installation and maintenance fees.
🔧 Ongoing IT Support & Maintenance – Keeping your system running smoothly often requires external IT support. Software updates, security patches, and troubleshooting all add up in costs—and downtime.
⚠️ Data Backup & Security Risks – With on-premises software, you’re responsible for backups and security. If a server crashes or data is lost, recovery can be expensive and disruptive. Cloud solutions cut this risk with automatic backups and enterprise-level security.
📍 Limited Remote Access – Need to check patient files from home? With on-premise software, you’re tied to the practice. Cloud-based solutions like Dentally let you access your practice securely from anywhere.
🔌 Hidden Electricity Costs – Running a server 24/7 isn’t just a maintenance headache – it’s an ongoing drain on your electricity bill. Servers require constant power, cooling, and maintenance, driving up energy costs year after year. Switching to a cloud-based solution like Dentally eliminates these unnecessary expenses, helping your practice become more energy-efficient and cost-effective.
We’ve spent years supporting server-based practice management software, so we know how much work it takes to keep things running smoothly. But technology has evolved and so has our mindset – we know Dentally is the natural next step for a modern, future-proof practice like yours.
