Curve Dental announced their sponsorship of Dental Software Awareness Month, which begins October 1, 2014 and celebrates the contributions and progress practice management software has brought to the dental profession. Activities and events planned for Dental Software Awareness Month include a webinar series, a conference, and live interviews with key industry players.

 "Since the early 1980's computerization has played a significant part in helping the dental practice become more efficient and productive," said Andy Jensen, Vice-president of Curve Dental Systems. "Computerization has also improved the quality of care by providing clinicians with better organization and access to notes, charts and medical history. Curve Dental is excited to be the general sponsor of this effort to spotlight achievements and contributions in October, which is Dental Software Awareness Month."

 A unique webinar series will showcase the history of dental software by bringing together key individuals who helped shape the current landscape within the profession. The Orange Summit, a conference for Curve Dental customers, will also dedicate time to recognize the computer's impact on modern dentistry. Interviews with current market leaders will also be broadcast on the Web.

Curve Dental is a definitely a leader when it comes to the cloud. So we do get our share of darts and arrows from mean people who don't want to see us succeed. In response, I'm presenting the top ten silly things mean people say about the cloud.

The sixth one: Your Server is Safer than the Cloud

Didn't we just talk about this?

Let's give praise where praise is due. If you're the type of doctor who likes to tinker with a server and all the gadgets and software attached to it, and you enjoy spending hours on maintenance, backup, redundancy, and upgrades, then we salute you. You understand the risks and you've taken the steps to reduce the risks as best you can without spending a fortune. You'd agree that if money were no object you'd do more and spend more on your current server setup to protect your data even more. You know that only a professionally managed data center can offer all the security and redundancy that you really want.

But most doctors are dentists first and not network engineers second. And for most doctors resources are limited, namely time and money. For an individual to duplicate the security, redundancy, and management that we've build they'd have to spend millions of dollars. Plus they'd spend all their time managing the system rather than practicing dentistry.

If someone tells you that your server is safer than the cloud... it's laughable. Sorry to be so short. But, really... really?

You can learn more about the security of the cloud by calling and chatting with one of our dental software consultants at 888-910-4376. Call today to learn more or visit our website.
