Cost advantage
The topsOrtho™ cost advantage
Like other superior products, topsOrtho may cost more up front — but it actually saves you money. Here’s how.
What’s the true cost of owning a practice management system?
Our competitors don’t talk about it, because topsOrtho is the clear winner.
Reduce your IT costs dramatically – and get a much better product – with topsOrtho.
Hardware and software
Don’t be fooled by those low priced PC “get you in the door ads;” those prices don’t include everything you’ll need to run the PC.
Windows-based practice management systems require additional software, including:
- Microsoft Office or Word for every computer creating or viewing letters
- Microsoft 2003 Server, software and user licenses
- Microsoft SQL and user licenses
- Backup software, database software and anti-virus software licenses
- Terminal services software licenses
- Upgrade costs for these every 3-4 years
Macs have all the essentials built right in, and so does topsOrtho. No hidden charges, no additional expenses.
Satellite offices
- topsOrtho runs satellite offices fast without additional servers. You’ll need just one server with software to run your entire practice (whether it’s one office or five).
- No Terminal Services or Citrix required
- No VPN required
- T1 data lines are not required; business grade cable modem and DSL data lines work fine.
- Enjoy 100 percent of the same functionality of your main office in your satellite. There are no limitations for adding X-rays, scanners, printers, cameras, etc., at any computer connected to your tops server.
Network support
- How much time and money are you spending to maintain your network?
- You can add a Mac with topsOrtho to your network by yourself; it’s that easy.
- topsOrtho Mac networks cost less to maintain and support.
- Work with our experienced community of hardware technicians to receive the best installation experience.
But… “I have PCs already and it’s too costly to switch” (Not!)
- PCs are typically upgraded every two to three years with new hardware.
- Mac Minis cost just $599 each and run topsOrtho.
- By working with our implementation team and shopping smart, we can almost always keep the hardware cost of transitioning to topsOrtho lower than if you upgraded to another Windows system.
- Review your total costs — hardware and software, satellite office T1 lines and network maintenance — and you can pay for a new topsOrtho system in less than three years.
