New Zealand Based Software Firm Orasphere Acquired by US Based CurveDental
Online, September 28, 2010 (Newswire.com) - Orasphere produces Dental patient education videos that are watched online, on DVDs etc. CurveDental expects the acquisition of the New Zealand firm to increase its product offerings through the provision of its existing state of the art educational resources. CurveDental hopes to be able to offer patients enhanced information on the Web with regard to Dental software etc.
CurveDental chief executive officer, Jim Pack said the acquisition will complement the firm's offering, providing quality and innovation for the provision of better services. Other than that, Pack said Orasphere's team, with their experience and expertise in the dental profession comes as a great addition to CurveDental's existing team. CurveDental will use the library resources of Orasphere for hosting in the cloud sector and the web and therefore eliminating the need for expensive servers, installation and risky upgrades. CurveDental hopes to use Orasphere's embedding videos in offering information on web based dental software to explain and unravel sensitive information. For instance, for treatments that include aspects such as creating a crown, then such videos can be used by the doctor and the patient so the patient has all the necessary information required, said the firm.
According to Pack, it is about empowering the patient with the necessary information for the various aspects of their services. That will subsequently lead to the creation of effective dental software that is based on the web and very flexible. As such, such software will seek convenience for the patient and effectiveness, said Packman.
