Why Consume Technology on a Monthly Plan?
Technology is one of the fastest changing industries in the world; it seems like everyday there is “something new.” Think about it in terms of cell phone technology. In 1984, the first cell phone offered could do one thing: make phone calls. Then came the exponential growth. A short 25 years later the first iPhone was released, allowing owners to make calls, check their email, browse the web, and download and listen to music.
The same this is happening to the technology in your business today. Each year, the technology gets better, faster, and more secure. Sunset understands this is one of the highest cost for a business, but also one of the greatest budget concerns. Unfortunately, this creates a situation where the business chooses to hold on to the equipment longer than the recommended time frame.
It Works, Why Should I Buy New?
This is a valid question, and since your expertise is in dental not technology, the question makes sense. Let us make it simple, using technology past the recommended time frame opens your business up to:
- Higher maintenance costs
- Decreased efficiency and productivity (which is not usually noticed over time)
- Creates frustration for slow or non-working devices
- Increases the chance of cyber attacks

Pitfalls of Running Old Technology
Pitfall #1:
Cybersecurity Threats
According to CNBC, 43% of cyber-attacks target small businesses, and only 14% are prepared to defend themselves. Even a single outdated device, like a printer, PC, or laptop can be the vulnerability hackers need to access and take down or hold hostage your systems.
Pitfall #2:
Decreased Productivity
As equipment ages, it becomes more of a liability than an asset. Here’s why:
- The user spends increased time waiting for certain programs to load or perform.
- The time normally spent on completing tasks is replaced with service calls to repair the technology.
- There is less flexibility when it comes to accessing integrations and applications, creating a less efficient path from Point A to Point B.
Pitfall #3:
Higher Costs
The costs associated with maintaining legacy technology and software are prohibitive. It is inevitable that as your technology ages, it will fail. You could spend more on service tickets than the cost to simply update your system.
