Why Host ChiroTouch Server In the Cloud?

• Patient records and other sensitive data are safer and more accessible.
• Data can be backed up automatically and larger volumes of data can be archived due to the availability of scalable processing power and storage.
• It can be used as a managed solution that does not require software to be manually updated or hardware to be frequently upgraded.
• The software and the data can be protected using enterprise-grade firewalls and other security systems that are difficult to implement privately.
• The capital outlay is much lower than maintaining an on-premises ChiroTouch server.
