HERNDON, VA - (November 20, 2000) -PackOnline, Inc., a Herndon-based application service provider, today announced the launch of Dental.PackOnline v4.0, the first Web-native practice management system application designed to integrate seamlessly all the online and offline tools and services necessary to manage dental practices.

Dental.PackOnline v4.0 is a breakthrough advance that combines a dentist's patient information database with previously offline services, such as insurance claims processing, image sharing and scheduling. The 100 percent-online system is automatically delivered and immediately available to subscribers through a standard browser, making obsolete the wasteful business time of downloading of and training on upgraded software.

In the near future, PackOnline intends to adapt the system for use by other small professional service businesses, such as veterinary practices or beauty salons. Its Dental.PackOnline allows dental practices to share data with staff, patients, laboratories and insurance companies.

"The services we're making conveniently available through true integration include not only those that have been provided in non-integrated form, but also some new services previously thought to be too cumbersome," said PackOnline Founder and President Christophe Gissinger "This is more than the trite 'problem solving' aspect of business operations. The value of what we're doing isn't in the application itself, but in being a gateway to bring services to our clients"

Among Dental.PackOnline's features are Web-integrated insurance claims, which can be attached to patient files and directly submitted; Web-integrated charting, the trade's first complete online charting, which allows views of a patient's teeth to be shared with other providers, laboratories and insurance companies; and Web-integrated patient access, which allows individuals secured access to their personal dental Web site detailing their treatment plans, X-rays and the like.

In addition to improved efficiencies and conveniences, Dental.PackOnline v4.0 functionally extends the operations of dental practices to patients and dental professionals beyond specific office hours or locations, allowing access to the practice at any time and from any place.

PackOnline Inc. (www.dental.packonline.com), headquartered in Herndon, Va., and with offices in Paris and Montreal, is an application service provider that provides vertical businesses convenient access through the Internet to outsourced services that are integrated into hosted applications across a variety of vertical markets.
