HERNDON, VA - (November 14, 1999) - PackOnline, Inc., a company specializing in innovative web solutions for small, vertical businesses, recently announced the availability of the first in its series of web-based practice management services for small-business professionals: Dental.PackOnline.

Now dentists can fully manage their practice over the Internet and focus on their work without worrying about understanding and maintaining complex computer systems or network operations. And with 24 x 7 maintenance and support, the headaches of daily backups and system upgrades become things of the past. How can dentists keep up with the ever-increasing demands for automation while staying within the budget and time constraints so typical of small-business professionals?

Dental.PackOnline's easy "point and click" navigation brings streamlined practice management as close as the nearest web browser on any computer (PC or Macintosh). Dental office staff can now schedule appointments, perform invoicing, process statements and file electronic insurance claims directly with insurers,all online. The first dental software that allows access by an unlimited number of users simultaneously, Dental.PackOnline offers the ultimate in convenience to both dentists and patients. Dentists can travel with confidence from one office to another knowing that Dental.PackOnline makes it easy for them to stay in touch with all aspects of their practice. Patients can rest assured that their private records are available to them at any time,whether at home or on the road, whether for routine inquiries or emergencies, using a simple web browser within a password-protected environment. This web service virtually eliminates the paper flow associated with the daily (and often tedious and time consuming) routines of operating a dental practice.

Unlike typical dental software packages, Dental.PackOnline's comprehensive patient records go well beyond doctor's notes and appointments. Patients can also view their x-rays and color photos of their dental work. Once the dentist designs a treatment plan and adds it to a patient's record, detailed explanations (full-page text and illustrations) of every aspect of the patient¹s customized treatment plan are generated automatically. The patient is part of the process every step of the way. Mr. Christophe Gissinger, President of PackOnline, stated:
"I am very pleased to announce the availability of Dental.PackOnline, the first fully web-based dental practice management system. Through the Internet, Dental.PackOnline offers an exciting new alternative to managing the daily tasks of a dental practice. I am also happy to report that beta testing shows that the streamlined operations realized with Dental.PackOnline can translate into not just tremendous cost savings but also closer relationships with patients through improved communication and education. One of the most frequent comments during testing was that, of Dental.PackOnline's many, perhaps the most valuable is peace of mind for dentists and patients alike."

Designed to fit every dentist's budget, Dental.PackOnline's standard offering includes complete data encryption and password protection, multiple-format (tapes, diskettes, hard copies) backup services, firewalls, 24 x 7 maintenance and support, and restricted physical access. And system update issues, such as downtime due to periodic downloads and conversions, disappear. Dental.PackOnline users have the latest version every time they log on because all updates are done automatically at the PackOnline server level. Headquartered in Northern Virginia, PackOnline, Inc., is dedicated to providing leading-edge products and services for the new ways people are doing business. Safe, easy, effective (and affordable) Dental.PackOnline is the world's first web-based practice management system that makes data sharing among staff and patients a reality, taking the frustrations and administrative concerns out of managing a dental practice.
