Lytec PM Upgrade

Lytec will soon be releasing some new features for Lytec 2015 and have already begun development on the next version of Lytec which should be released later this year.

If you are on Lytec 2014 or older, it is about 1/3 less expensive to upgrade to Lytec 2015 now before the next version is announced. Upgrading from Lytec 2014 to 2015 is considered a 1VO upgrade but upgrading from Lytec 2014 to Lytec 2016 is a 2VO upgrade and the price is about 3 times more.

Backups

Please make sure you are not only doing an internal backup but are also using a cloud backup service. Also, make sure your backups are running. You can’t just set them up and forget it as we have had two practices recently lose all of their data because their backup was not running.

If you are not doing a cloud based, offsite backup, we offer a very low cost option. Please contact us for more information.
