Why has virtually every industry moved to Cloud-based software?
Don’t make the mistake of spending many thousands of dollars buying obsolete traditional, server-based software…
How a Cloud-Based EHR can benefit your practice
Buying a system outright actually results in more "cost of ownership" because the moment you buy any traditional software it is already obsolete and you have to keep spending more money to maintain it and update it. Not to mention, you have to manage your own server, backup server, network, data backup and maintenance, plus pay for support. This is in addition to the huge up front cost of buying or financing it. And once you've bought it you are married to it. You can't change your mind. You are stuck with it.
Being cloud based means 24/7 access to your data, anytime, anywhere. And with SilkOne’s design you can access our software with any device, MAC, PC, Tablet, even smartphone.
The "hosting" or "cloud computing" model is now the "Gold Standard." All major corporations have already converted or are in the process of converting, to the cloud-based model. Corporations are all about the bottom-line, and the bottom-line is a lower cost of ownership and being headache free.
You never have to worry about doing back-ups or losing your data. Losing your data to a computer crash can be devastating to your practice and your financial well being. SilkOne used 2 geographically separate, Fortune 100 level data centers. We spare no expense in providing you the highest quality infrastructure available. So your data is always safe and secure with no down time and the fastest speeds.
As we all know, technology changes very quickly. When you buy traditional software you are stuck with it because of the large investment you must make. When updates are required server based software systems will obviously charge you for those updates. You have not choice but to pay it. Conversely, cloud-based software can change and adapt to any necessary changes literally on a day-to-day and week-to-week basis. You will always have the most up to date software. And SilkOne never charges for updates or maintenance.
Everything we do in our lives now is "online", whether it is buying products, banking, filing taxes, paying bills, etc. Companies even back-up their data online with web-based data centers. Why would anyone in this day and age want to go backward and buy an obsolete client/server system??
