About Us

Practice Software Developers

Doug Cotton first developed dental software for his parents' practice at Lane Cove on Sydney's North Shore.  This was in the days of MS-DOS systems, and the A.T.S. system was by far the most widely-used dental software in Australia in the 1980's.

Of course the software has come a long way since then, converting to Windows (R) in the mid 1990's.

Doug and his wife Yoice are Principals of the two businesses Practice Software Developers and Acclaim Technical Software.  They bring together experience and qualifications in computing, accounting, marketing and teaching. 

Over the years Dental Practices have appreciated the personal support and prompt response to suggestions and many have kept using the system for over 20 years.

Updates have been issued every six months or so with many enhancements and additional features, making it now a very comprehensive yet easy-to-use practice management system.
