AMERICAN FORK, Utah--Dentrix Dental Systems Inc., developer of the popular DENTRIX practice management system, has announced that it has reached a major milestone in dental software development by achieving Microsoft Gold Certified Partner status.
This elite status places the company among a select group of top software development companies in the world. Members of the Microsoft Gold Certified Partner Program must meet rigorous certification criteria and must prove their expertise in a given solution area by providing real-world customer references.
Dentrix Dental Systems creates software to help dentists to achieve a fully integrated practice, where front office, operatory, and everything in between work together flawlessly. Their solutions include dental practice management software, digital imaging software, patient education software, computer-based training software, voice recognition software, and other products designed to enhance the dental office experience.
According to Kimball Wirig, president of Dentrix Dental Systems, Dentrix Dental Systems created the first practice management system for Windows in 1989, and was the first to be approved for Windows 98. "Our legacy of Windows development has helped us to forge a strong link with Microsoft," said Wirig.
He also noted that Dentrix's early vision of a completely paperless dental practice is coupled today with a strong commitment to developing the tools necessary to boost productivity and improve efficiency. "Our customers have come to expect the best and our new Gold Partner status will only enhance our ability to deliver on those expectations," Wirig said.
"Microsoft solutions competencies are an important way for Microsoft to better enable software vendors to meet customer needs," said Sanjay Parthasarathy, corporate vice president of the Developer & Platform Evangelism Group at Microsoft.
"They allow our partners to keep and win customers through their deep knowledge of solutions-based Microsoft platform technologies. Microsoft has a long history of working closely with certified partners to help them deliver
compelling solutions and applications to our mutual customers, and the
Microsoft Competencies are an important step in continuing to enhance
vital relationships worldwide."
