I speak with doctors every day who are looking for new software. Some are actively looking to move their practice to the cloud. Some are a little hesitant, but after chatting are ready to go. And some seem to wear blinders. 

One doctor explained to me that their practice was moving from DENTRIX to Eaglesoft and they were quite excited by their decision. After speaking with them they readily agreed that with Eaglesoft they would gain some new features not available with DENTRIX but also they would lose some functionality they currently use in DENTRIX.

Switching from one system to another is not a walk through the park; it's quite disruptive to any practice, but by all means quite possible--doctors are switching all the time. If you're going to go through the exercise of switching software you best be sure you're making one that is moving your practice forward, not sideways.

Switching from one client-server system to another is very much a sideways move. You may gain new functionality in the new system but you're also most likely losing something on the other side. More importantly, you're keeping your practice chained to out-dated technology and a pesky server. Backups are still a problem to address. Upgrades will still cost you time and money.

A move to the cloud, on the other hand, means you move your practice forward to the current technology standard. You free yourself from a server. You never hassle with upgrades. You never worry about backups. You can access your patient information from anywhere at anytime. Moving forward requires thinking outside the box; it requires a paradigm shift and moving your practice to the cloud is clear step forward.
