Comment on The Dentist Office Software Storyparent

Comments

The person I'm talking about was actually quite aggressive about staying with the times and was researching (when I first got to know him) how to embed live video in his application so surgeons could look over his shoulder at the patient prior to transfer to save everybody a (potentially useless) trip. I was very much impressed with this and the current release of that software has very little in common with the software of the mid-90's.

Quite possibly other dentists/programmers figured that they could sleep their way through all this but in that case they more than likely found themselves upstaged by a newcomer that did get with the times.

Perhaps another way if looking at it is that he was replaced, multiple times, by his next version of his software.

Perhaps that is the real lesson of DentalSoft and Dent.io and dental.com - disrupt yourself before someone else does.
