CHOICE IS GOOD. PerioPal now offers a one-time, unlimited licensing option to an unlimited number of computers.

Beaumont, Texas, PerioPal LLC., a leading software solution for periodontal exams unveiled its new one server, unlimited licensing model. Now, a One-Time Unlimited Licensing option offers similar download and software features as the Pay-Per-Use policy to an unlimited number of workstations. Pay-Per-Use clients can convert to Unlimited Licensing at any time.

“We believe choice is good. Although our Pay-Per-Use model has gained momentum over the last three years, a significant number of practice owners prefer a one time purchase,” says Kimberly Goodson, president of PerioPal.

“In order to increase our market share and maintain our dedication to the needs of the practice owner, we evaluated our pricing plan as well as the fixed costs for software ownership. By offering both a one-time purchase and the pay-per-use licensing option on a single server, users can select the best solution for their practice without having to worry about purchasing and keeping track of multiple software licenses.”

In 2006, PerioPal realized the importance of information technology solutions to increase the efficiency and lower the cost of its software distribution. A decision to offer a free-to-download version came last year allowing clinicians to get acquainted with the benefits of PerioPal’s voice driven periodontal charting software. Complete with 25 exams, comprehensive training materials, and a link to PerioPal-compatible headsets, users have everything they need to test and evaluate PerioPal’s voice driven periodontal charting software.

The system uses a powerful, voice command technology that shortens the enrollment time of data, increases the accuracy of the exam and decreases the tedious task of periodontal charting. Uses can record all clinical conditions as they are observed.

PerioPal is designed to be easily interfaced to most popular dental systems that share an open bridge policy or by using a customized integration tool called DataGrabber from Apteryx, Inc. DataGrabber allows the automated transfer of patient name, birth date, and record ID number to PerioPal. This interface tool eliminates the need to modify the user’s dental office system software and still have a fully integrated solution.

Version 8.5 is available for purchase and more information on the software can be found at www.periopal.com.
