benefit of storing your patient’s dental images in the cloud is being able to tly reduce and even eliminate your expenses for servers. Instead of replacing servers which can cost up to $5,000 every few years and paying for maintenance, support, backups, updates, you pay just one monthly subscription fee for cloud.
1. Device Agnostic
Did you know switching to a cloud-based open-architecture imaging software can save you $1.7 million—like it did with American Dental Partners?
Open architecture prevents you from being locked into software that only works with a specific imaging device. Imaging software—both cloud and on-premise—that aren’t open architecture makes it difficult for you to customize your practice with hardware and software best suited for you, your practice, and your patients.

Apteryx XVWeb grants you freedom when switching hardware, software, and adding new locations. Our compatibility with major devices and software prevents any slowdowns from switching.
Instead of purchasing new hardware or software for your imaging, open architecture allows you to diversify your products to have the best optimized system for your practice.

2. Support Included
Are you debating on whether you need to purchase a support subscription? Are you worried about going over your capped support time limit and having to pay extra?
These are a few concerns many practices think about when their imaging software doesn’t include support.
Several dental solutions, both cloud and on-premise, offer support at an additional cost. These support service charges can vary from yearly to hourly to even minute by minute.

| Yes | Some | No |
Apteryx XVWeb’s all-inclusive cloud imaging monthly subscription includes support without capping the time or number of tickets. With included support, costs stay predictable for your practice as you don’t have to budget and keep track of additional add-on costs.
You also save time through our ticketing system to ensure you can get back to your dental practice without waiting on the phone for hours.
We value your time and want to assist you in the best way possible. We proudly reject the idea of penalizing you for additional support and want you to feel comfortable asking any number of questions.
3. Automatic Software Updates
With performance enhancement, new features, security updates, and bug fixes, software updates are crucial to your dental practices. Since on-premise solutions are server-based systems and don’t utilize cloud, manual software updates are needed. This can be tedious and especially problematic if things don’t go as planned.

| Yes | Yes | No |
To avoid this time-consuming and costly process, Apteryx XVWeb Cloud Imaging updates automatically. You no longer need to purchase a separate service for updates, worry about being on time, or allocate time to download the updated version.
Apteryx will keep your software updated without user intervention, so your practice can function efficiently and productively.
4. Subscription Based
The best parts about a subscription-based imaging system are both the easily trackable recurring monthly cost and Apteryx’s tiered pricing system based on the number of workstations and storage you need.
Only one subscription is required per practice regardless of the number of locations or workstations. This can especially help save money for practices with many offices.

With on-premise software and some cloud imaging, many features and services are often priced individually. This makes it more difficult to track your spending with costs adding up and placing a strain on your budget, which can feel overwhelming at times.
In addition to the cost of the imaging solution, on-premise software have additional costs you need to be aware of:

In short, Apteryx offers free upgrades, backup, and lifetime support for all subscription levels.
5. Needs-Based Pricing Tiers
Apteryx Imaging embraces every practice by abandoning the one-size-fits-all approach. By offering pricing tiers, we support different practice sizes to find a package best suited for you rather than grouping everyone under one umbrella.

| Yes | No | No |
Whether you’re a small practice, a growing one, or a large DSO, we have a pricing tier to best meet your needs! Depending on the number of capture stations and storage you need, there’s a package for you.
What if I need to change my pricing tier?
When the time comes to upgrade, we will be happy to help you make this easy and seamless transition!
With a simple phone call or email to upgrade, you can move to the next tier of your choice without any break in your workflow.
6. Unlimited Storage
What do I do if I’m looking to increase my storage with an on-premise imaging software? Since on-premise solutions typically have limited physical storage, it’s very common for practices to purchase more space and support for the increased data storage.
This poses a major concern for growing practices as additional storage is costly. Apteryx XVWeb Cloud Imaging provides an inexpensive solution for these practices with the capability of unlimited image storage.

With Apteryx XVWeb, you will not need IT support nor additional IT infrastructure for your storage. Costs originally going to pay the ones managing your backups and storage can be allocated elsewhere.
High, fast growth can come at a giant cost, but that’s not the case with Apteryx as an imaging solution.
