how to build a modern orthodontic practice management system
Start with UNIX. If you are tired of managing an unstable, virus-ridden, spyware-laden office system and would rather get back to practicing, go with UNIX. The operating system used by large institutions like banks and governments is now the foundation for the most advanced orthodontic practice management system ever.
make it object-oriented in its design
Object-oriented programming is the foundation of modern software development. topsXtreme is built entirely on the richest object-oriented frameworks available. We are the only developers in orthodontics that own all the code--from alpha to omega. That translates into unprecedented power of design.
go for speed, stability and power
Combining industrial-strength UNIX--the kind large banks and Wallstreet use--with complete code ownership has made topsXtreme extraordinarily stable and lightning fast.
leverage an internet heritage
The internet and networking are part of the genetic make up of topsXtreme. The very same operating system, programming tools and frameworks used by Dr. Tim Berners-Lee to invent the World Wide Web are the foundation of topsXtreme. This means topsXtreme was built from day one to take full advantage of the internet.
base it upon open standards
Modern software recognizes and uses open standards. So topsXtreme integrates well with other programs, networks effortlessly with any pc computer and any digital imaging device. xml, pdf, html, jpeg, tiff, gif, png, mov, avi, tcp/ip, samba, dhcp, nat, soap-rpc and zero-conf may seem to be a lot of alphabet soup, but they are all second nature to topsXtreme.
live virus-free and secure
Mac OS X (the underlying operating system that powers topsXtreme) is virus-free. And all network traffic between topsXtreme workstations and the topsXtreme server are fully encrypted with industrial strength Blowfish encryption.
reward the most loyal customers in orthodontics
In the 13 years our company has been in business, we’ve had a 94% customer retention rate. So when we built topsXtreme on UNIX, we felt indebted to our customers. They all gave us their commitment by upgrading their hardware and operating system, and we in turn upgraded all of them to topsXtreme without an upgrade charge. It was a ton of work on our end, but our customers have invested in us, so we invested in them.
hire the best talent in the solar system
Bring in software developers who know how to handle the latest technology.
“My deciding factor to go with topsXtreme was the frustration with Windows XP (short for eXperience Problems). Every time a security patch was issued one of the printers in my satellite office would stop working. I could never get my home printer networked. Of course there were the never ending concerns about viruses and other malicious programs inherent to the Windows platform. In short, I was having to devote way too much of my time and resources maintaining the network between my offices. I cannot tell you how pleased I am to have found such a great practice management program on such a great platform (OS X).”
