Mogo Cloud offers a turnkey, dental practice management program that is hosted in the cloud.
Having an origin as far back as 1980’s makes Mogo one of the original dental practice management software providers. The founder of this product, Ming Wu, in fact still owns the company, based in Willmont, Illinois. Evolving from locally hosted software to a cloud based solution, Mogo Cloud makes the claim of being the only major dental software hosted by Microsoft Cloud. Mogo Cloud’s goal is to be an all-in-one solution serving the needs of both general dentists, and also the full variety of dental specialists. To start with, Mogo Cloud does have a free trial, which is generally preferred rather than a free demo. With a free trial, a practice can really fully test drive the software, before making a commitment. Just from the name, Mogo Cloud, you could probably guess that this is based on cloud architecture. Being a SaaS offers inherent advantages including data redundancy as it backs up directly to the cloud, and that updates are done centrally without any user input. A cloud based service is only reliable if the server it runs on is, so rest assured that Mogo Cloud is hosted by Microsoft Azure, a well respected and dependable cloud service. This also assures that it is totally HIPAA compliant. The front desk also benefits from the Mogo Cloud feature set. A nice feature is the online patient forms, allowing patients to register, request appointments, and provide a medical history completely online. Patient privacy is ensured as the forms are all secured, via an office supplied online access code. Mogo Cloud also has an integrated timekeeping function, dubbed Time Clock, to track employee hours for payroll, and also track benefit time, a nice value add which avoids the cost of additional software. An increasingly important area for dental offices to pay attention, patient engagement is also supported by Mogo Cloud. For example, there are options for eReminders to be sent via email, or text, at no additional charge and included in the suite. These useful eReminders are transmitted for a variety of reasons, including confirmation of appointments, simple appointment reminders, or even for just a birthday wish.
