The first cloud-based practice management system is now available in beta form from Henry Schein, Inc.

The cloud technology allows dentists to safely store information, manage multi-site practices and access information anytime, anywhere. Dentists who practice on multiple sites can access a single database from any location.
Dentrix Ascend delivers real-time information and suggested tasks specific to each user's role in the
practice and prioritizes these tasks based on the dentist's efficiency and operational goals. The program
is available for PCs, Macs and iPads. Month-to-month subscriptions will be offered to provide dentists
