Sikka Software Announces the First and the Largest Benchmarking Site for Dentists

Sikka Software Corporation, a leading provider of business optimization software for small business healthcare industry said that it is making HotOptimize.com available to the entire dental community. HotOptimize.com uses Sikka Software Corporation Dental Practice Optimizer® technology to help dental professionals do a structured search for any business ratio or procedure code for their zip code. For example, fees, salaries, overheads, a/r to production, production to collection, hygiene to restorative, dentist production per hour, hygienist production per hour, new patients, active patients, supplies and others.

Data inside HotOptimize.com is based on opt-in information that is collected from Sikka Software Corporation customer dentists and more than 2500 product installations without any identifier information except zip code. Sikka Software Corporation now has the most comprehensive database of all business information available at zip code for the dental industry. In addition, the data inside HotOptimize.com is being updated continuously – every second of every day and is current for every month. So upwards and downward trends of economic and other conditions are also visible.

Vijay Sikka, Chairman and CEO of Sikka Software Corporation said, “Being a free structured search service, HotOptimize.com contributes to the natural benchmarking question in the mind of all dentists: How do I compare?. How is my practice doing? Am I below or above others? Etc.” “We have always been passionate about helping dentists level the playing field and it gives me great pride and joy to offer this revolutionary service.” Sikka continued, “Preliminary focus group evaluation in DentalTown, ACE and study club meetings of HotOptimize.com has resulted in a very enthusiastic response by dentists.”

HotOptimize.com™ will also allow the dental professional to download to their own desktop and run, Dental Practice Optimizer Dashboard™ (DPOD). This will allow them to see how their own practice is doing on those and other business indicators through an easy to use dashboard style display. DPOD is valid for 15 days from the date of download and the dentist can choose to subscribe to the service for a nominal monthly payment. The dentist also agrees to contribute to the business database for his neighborhood anonymously. This allows the service to improve.

Sikka Software Corporation products including Dental Practice Optimizer® now work seamlessly with all major dental industry practice management systems, including Dentrix®, Softdent®, Eaglesoft®, EasyDental®, PracticeWorks®, Mogo®, Open Dental® and DentalVision® and also financial systems including QuickBooks®, PeachTree®, Quicken®, MSMoney®, CheckMate® and others
