Imagine being a patient who shows up for their appointment only to be turned away because the office's server was down. Now imagine if you're a software guy and this happens to you! That's the story with John Hammond, co-founder of Neem, a cloud based practice management software!

- The Neem elevator pitch
- The pros and cons of cloud computing in dentistry
- Why has medicine jumped into cloud so easily?
- The key to Neem...painless migration
- Two options for imaging with Neem
- Making Neem intuitive
- Dental software is less sexy than a lot of other technology
- Intelligent forms that patient input built in
- Real time insurance eligibility
- Will cloud be in the majority in 10-15 years? (software has a shelf life)
- DSOs and the cloud
