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.
The difference can add up to some healthy savings! Compare costs to see how much your practice can save. Or request a demo if you’d like to learn more about NaVetor cloud software.
