Spring Cleaning

Our Businesses are built on so many parts and pieces, and often we find ourselves running around trying to patch up small cracks or problems. It’s a balance between working IN our businesses and working ON our businesses. We often prioritize helping our patients and generating revenue over reviewing the foundations that keep our business strong. 


AI is making a big splash in headlines, and integrating these new tools can be exciting to dentists looking to be on the cutting edge. Current programs easily integrate into the processes of delivering care, helping doctors make informed decisions and providing a clear picture to patients. But just as with any building, your business needs a strong foundation to build on. If you are making the decision to include AI in your business, I would challenge that now is the time to check your foundation. 


Technology in your practice is built on layers, each of those affecting the next. AI, more than other software, is affected by your choices in security, hardware, software and the data within your practice. Just like our own health, issues that pop up are often something that didn’t just happen on that day, but were weeks or even decades in the making.


The success of AI in your business is going to rely on the decisions and the processes you have put into place over the years. Decisions that you have made in the past in working to secure your network, and build strong hardware and software foundations will affect the success of integrating AI in your practice. 


Our businesses change overtime and so does technology. AI is helping us to improve our services and add value to our patients. There are new products and tools coming out every day. But let's ensure we spend time investing in the right foundations first. At Siligent, we partner with you to review your technology foundation and make a plan for where you want to be. As you integrate that cutting edge AI, you’ll be secure knowing you’re building on a strong, secure foundation.
