BEHIND THE SCENES<br />
What is the idea behind exocad's CAD<br />
Configurator?<br />
Inka Müller: We developed CAD<br />
Configurator to help dental professionals<br />
compile an individualised software<br />
solution from our product offering. exocad’s<br />
<strong>Dental</strong>CAD and ChairsideCAD provide<br />
dental professionals with the necessary<br />
tools to handle a multitude of indications.<br />
To customise the software solutions for<br />
each practice or laboratory’s specific needs,<br />
exocad offers supplementary modules that<br />
augment the basic versions of <strong>Dental</strong>CAD<br />
and ChairsideCAD. <strong>Dental</strong> professionals can<br />
use CAD Configurator to specify their needs<br />
and receive a customised recommendation<br />
with the software products that best<br />
meet those needs. Our global distribution<br />
partners also use CAD Configurator when<br />
advising their customers.<br />

How do users get their software solution<br />
recommendations?<br />
Müller: First, users select their country.<br />
Second, they select the setting in which the<br />
software will be used, such as chairside,<br />
practice laboratory or laboratory. And third,<br />
they define which indications they want<br />
to handle with the software. Individual<br />
software recommendations and license<br />
models are then sent directly to the<br />
user via email.<br />
How easy is it to purchase the software<br />
after receiving the recommendation?<br />
Müller: The software recommendation<br />
includes the names and contact information<br />
of exocad resellers active in the customer’s<br />
region. We want to make it as easy as<br />
possible for dental professionals to<br />
