Is it time to move your practice into the cloud? 9 Benefits of Cloud Based Practice Management

24.03.2017 1. Flexibility Cloud-based services are ideal for practices with growing and changing needs. Whether it’s an extra screen in the prep room or an entire new branch all you need is a basic laptop/tablet and a WiFi connection and you’re up and running. 2. Automatic Software Updates
 The beauty of cloud computing is that the servers are off-premise, out of sight and out of your hair. We take care of them for you and roll out regular software updates – including security updates – so you don’t have to worry about wasting time maintaining the system yourself. Leaving you free to focus on the things that matter. 3. Affordability Cloud computing cuts out the high cost of hardware and licence fees. You simply pay as you go and enjoy a subscription-based model that’s kind to your cash flow. Add to that the ease of setup and management and suddenly your scary, hairy new system looks at lot friendlier. 4. Reliability Functioning practice management software is as essential to practice as nurses, metacam and a kettle. When you run your own servers, you need to buy more hardware than you need in case of failure. In extreme cases, you need to duplicate everything. Having spare hardware lying idle, "just in case," is an expensive way to keep the show on the road. Why not let a cloud based provider handle this for you, with multiple servers and regular automatic backups. 5. Work Anywhere
 Have you ever sat at home wondering whether you prescribed the right dose? Ever been ambushed with ‘just a quick look’ at a horse you haven’t seen since it’s castration in the late nineties? Ever had the nagging feeling that 3am 'emergency' is a bad debter? When your records live in the cloud you can log on and find out, anywhere in the world. 6. Speed
 With cloud computing you aren’t bogged down by aging hardware. As long as your computers can run an internet browser you benefit from super fast servers. 7. Environmentally friendly 
 It’s a familiar presence in many practices, the low hum of a bank of black boxes and a nest of wires. While servers might provide a welcome heat source for the practice office they’re not doing the environment (or your electricity bills) any favours!
