2015 World Backup Day

Posted March 16, 2015 by Nick M

I see it on my Facebook newsfeed nearly every week:  “New phone, lost my contacts, text me your name so I can add you back in.”  As simple as it is to backup something as important to everyone’s everyday life, it seems like it seldom gets done.  Maybe it’s because it’s easy to get your friends to text you their number.  However, I don’t think it will work the same if you ever have to ask your clients to let you know their account balance.

As your practice grows, so does its digital footprint.  There are many ways to lose data, whether it be corruption, component failure, theft, fire, or even a disgruntled employee deleting files, but there is only one way to recover it and that is vigilance in creating and following the correct procedures to back up your electronic dental records and store them in a separate location.

As World Backup Day rolls around again on March 31st, we remind you to take some time to review backups and backup procedures.   If you have any questions about what needs to be backed up for any of your XLDent products, how to correctly perform a backup, and/or how to verify your backed up data please contact XLDent Support at 1-866-450-6717.

U of M Dental Students Lunch and Learn

Posted March 11, 2015 by Andre M

This afternoon Andre Montgomery was at the University of Minnesota Dental School talking to the students on the future of dental practice management software and the electronic dental record.  The students had some very good questions in regards to the cloud.  They were curious to know its benefits over traditional systems and also wanted to know how cost effective it was.  We discussed the advantages of XLDent’s hybrid system versus a system based solely in the cloud and how the monthly subscription costs of a dental web-based solution far exceed the cost of ownership of a server-based model over time.

They were especially excited to see XLDent’s ease-of-use in the charting module, as well as the Tablet PC technology and its total mobility.   Several students commented that they were “blown away” by XLDent’s advanced technology and seamless integration with ePrescribing and digital x-ray technologies in comparison to the systems they are currently working within school.

Most all of the students picked up XLDent’s new start-up flyer (a special promotion for new dentists in practice) with the idea that someday they would build or buy a practice with XLDent.
