Three Ways Cloud-Based ChiroTouch Reduces Total Cost of Ownership

Highlights

• Reduce your total cost of ownership by switching to cloud-based ChiroTouch.
• ChiroTouch eliminates the need for your chiropractic practice to maintain and update your servers.
• Cloud-based ChiroTouch helps you avoid the cost of upgrading to SQL Standard.
• ChiroTouch provides a cost-effective solution to save up to $5,000 per year in expenses and peace of mind about your total cost of ownership.

As your practice expands, expenses for maintaining your server, data backup and storage, and information technology infrastructure increase your operating costs. Switching to ChiroTouch cloud-based chiropractic software saves your practice money by eliminating costly IT expenses and reducing the total cost of ownership.

Here’s how.

1. Cost of Maintaining a Server

Chiropractic practices spend anywhere between $4,000 and $30,000 on servers, depending on the size and complexity of their IT infrastructure. These expenses quickly accumulate and negatively impact the profitability of your practice. Cloud-based ChiroTouch eliminates the need for chiropractic practices to maintain their servers. In addition, transitioning to the cloud can further reduce additional IT support costs that impact the total cost of ownership.

For instance, if your practice needs to upgrade its dedicated server, you will need to make a decision: Spend between $5,000 and $6,000 on a server overhaul or switch to a cloud-based system. You will need to assess your IT needs and expenses to determine whether a cloud-based option is a better fit for your business.

Our cloud-based platform eliminates the need for ongoing server maintenance, upgrades, and backup from an IT provider and increases your data storage capabilities.

Using ChiroTouch software for cloud allows practices to scale up and down to meet changing demands while providing top-notch patient service. ChiroTouch delivers a reliable and cost-effective solution for practices to save around $5,000 per year by avoiding the expense of a new server, and IT costs when the server crashes or is experiencing connectivity issues.

2. Cost of Upgrading SQL as Your Practice Grows

Many practices reach a point where they need to upgrade their software to run on SQL Standard. They may spend upwards of $3,000 for an IT provider to upgrade their server to SQL Standard and potentially have to upgrade it again in a few years.

They can pay the same amount to migrate to ChiroTouch cloud-based practice software that includes SQL Standard and doesn’t require costly upgrades.

For example, a chiropractor starting an independent practice may download the software and use SQL Express for free. However, as their practice grows and bandwidth and usage needs increase, they must upgrade to SQL Standard to optimize their software’s performance. Otherwise, the software will likely suffer from slowdowns and poor performance.

To avoid software downtime, for about the same cost, chiropractors can subscribe to a 12-month contract and migrate to cloud-based ChiroTouch, ensuring against future expenses for hardware and software upgrades.

By choosing cloud-based ChiroTouch, you eliminate the need to update SQL Standard for your server and the ongoing costs associated with maintaining SQL Standard, lowering your total cost of ownership.

3. Cost of Data Backup, Storage, and IT Maintenance

Downtime for your practice becomes expensive and affects your profitability and workflow. Unplanned downtime costs your business 35% more per minute than planned downtime. Maintaining and supporting your systems on premises adds to your regular IT expenses and can cost $100 per hour of work or per visit.

Choosing a cloud-based platform with a reputation for reliability and security is critical for your business. ChiroTouch eliminates IT configuration and maintenance costs for a growing chiropractic practice. The move to the cloud results in significant savings in IT costs for many practices because they no longer need to hire an IT technician every time they need to add a workstation or upgrade software.

ChiroTouch stands out with its commitment to high-quality support and best-in-class security protocols. You will see yourself with a built-in status feature that allows you to check uptime, billing and payment information, and the last 90 days of electronic claims. With an impressive 99.94% uptime guarantee, ChiroTouch makes moving to the cloud a valuable investment for a growing practice.

Practices with multiple practices using the same ChiroTouch server can incur a high cost of running remote connections to the server. ChiroTouch allows all practice locations to connect to one system, saving money by eliminating the need to maintain individual connections for each location.
