Ch. 11 - Developing and Managing Products

Development of EagleSoft 

• Founded in 1993 by Scott and Sue - saw an opportunity for a practice management system that integrated front office and operatory functions.
  
  
• Interviewed dental practices to determine what features were most needed in a practice management software system, applied what they learned, and released EagleSoft Version 1.0.
  
  
• In 1997, EagleSoft was acquired by Patterson Solutions and now has 30,000 users.
