If you are comparing Magic Touch (DLCPM) with newer cloud tools, focus on setup burden, workflow clarity, and how easily your team can adopt the system.
Dental is the clearest current fit • Lower setup burden
Older systems often involve more implementation overhead before the team is fully up and running. Many labs compare them with newer tools that are easier to evaluate without a long setup cycle.
Labs often re-evaluate legacy systems because workflow clarity and day-to-day usability matter as much as feature depth. A cleaner interface can reduce training friction for technicians and office staff.
One major evaluation point is whether your team still wants to maintain local infrastructure or access the workflow through the browser. Cloud delivery can make remote access and multi-device use simpler for smaller teams.
Migration usually starts with reviewing what data you can export from Magic Touch or DLCPM. If your team can export doctors, products, or price lists to CSV or Excel, you can then evaluate the best import path into SimpleLabOS.
If your lab has HIPAA, retention, or internal security requirements, review the current controls during evaluation rather than assuming every legacy and cloud system handles those requirements the same way.
SimpleLabOS supports attaching digital case files such as STL and PLY today. If your workflow depends on a specific scanner or deep integration, confirm that requirement during evaluation.
Start from the dental workflow if you want the clearest current path, or review pricing first if setup model is the main issue.
