Server Software Considerations
Server-based software requires several components, including:
- The cost of the software itself (typically a one-time fee)
- The cost of any related licenses, such as Microsoft® SQL
- The cost of a server and one or more workstations
- IT and networking support (because your workstations need to “talk” to the server)
- Software annual support costs, for tech support and all updates
- Offsite backup of your practice data
Cloud Software Considerations
When switching to cloud software, you will need:
- A monthly cloud software subscription, which covers tech support, software updates, and online data backups.
- One or more workstations. With cloud, you have more flexibility to use less expensive laptops and/or tablets as some of those workstations.
- High-speed internet service.
