Rodericks Dental partners with iland for data security and scalability to aid business growth

Rodericks Dental, a clinically led and rapidly expanding dental group, offers comprehensive NHS and private dental care with over 100 dental practices across England and Wales. Guided by an ethos centred around high-quality treatments and quality patient care, the company offers an all-inclusive list of services, including bridges, crowns, dentures, fillings, root canal therapy and much more. 

Alex Snell, head of IT at Rodericks Dental, explained that prior to partnering with iland the company built its own data centre for mission-critical data like patient records, billing and other business essentials. As the company’s data output grew, however, so did its need for security and cost effectiveness. Bound by strict dental compliance regulations, Snell and his team began searching for a cloud solution with the ability to lower the costs associated with powering their own data centre, while also protecting against sophisticated cyberattacks with insider protection.

"Research shows that cybercrime is only increasing in terms of frequency and sophistication. So, it was a major concern for us, as it should be for any IT team,” Snell said. “We wanted to find a solution that had almost instant recovery with retention and back up capability as well."
