The types of dental college management software are classified below
- Depending on the deployment of dental college software
- Depending on the features of the dental college software
Deployment Of Dental College Software
Classification of Dental College Management Software Based On Deployment:
- Cloud or Online dental college software
- On-premise or offline dental college software
Online or Cloud Dental College Management Software
In the cloud dental college management software, the software will be hosted on a cloud server. Any user with proper credentials can access the dental college software over the internet. This allows the user to access the information from anywhere at any time. This model has the advantage of saving the cost of costly servers and maintenance staff. The client can pay only for the use of the dental software. All the maintenance and updates will be the responsibility of the software vendor. This model is not suggested for the colleges where the internet connectivity is poor. This model is suitable if public health dentistry wanted to do a camp from an outside location.
On-Premise or Offline Dental College Management Software
The offline dental college manageable software will be installed on the college server. The offline software will have all the features that are available in the cloud version. There are two types of offline dental management software
- Browser-Based ( Developed in ASP.NET, PHP, Angular, etc.)
- Client-Server Model ( Visual Basic)
We recommended taking the browser-based application as there is no installations required on the client machines. In the case of the Client-server model, the software needs to be installed on all computers including the student’s laptop. If it’s browser-based dental management software, the users can open the browser like Google Chrome, Safari, Firefox, etc and type the address and start using the software. No separate installation is required. Anyone with valid credentials can use the software just by connecting to the LAN or the college’s secured Wi-Fi.
The main advantage of the offline version is that it is not dependent upon an internet connection. Even if there is an internet outage, the software will work smoothly. The main disadvantage will be in the initial cost of servers and the salary of a maintenance staff (IT engineer)—also the cost towards the updates to be factored.
Features of the Dental College Software
Classification of Dental College Management Software Based On Features
- Exclusive dental college management software
- Customized dental college management software
We identified most of the dental college management software available is either designed for Hospitals or Medical colleges. Only a few like Dentsoftware are designed as true dental college management software. The exclusive software for dental colleges gives many features that the other dental college software is not providing like graphical dental charting, perio charting, department case records, etc.
