Agilio, a leading UK healthcare operations software provider, today announced an innovative deal with Leicester-headquartered Dental Compliance Made Easier (DCME) – boosting its dental offering with a strong brand primarily aimed at independents and smaller dental groups.
Founder Rajiv Lakhani will lead DCME into this new phase, continuing as CEO of his fast-growing company, providing dental compliance software and support services. The firm, which has 34 employees and boasts 2,500+ dental practice members, will continue to operate independently with its existing team.
The integration of DCME and Agilio aligns with both companies’ long term growth plans and the collaboration will position them as leading providers of operations software to the dental sector. Along with compliance solutions, Agilio offers a full suite of complementary products including e-learning, CPD, team communications, dental plans, asset tracking and payment solutions.
Within the Agilio family, DCME will continue to focus on serving its existing and new independent practices and dental groups while larger dental organisations will have the choice of Agilio’s scalable multi-product platform suitable for bigger groups and Dental Service Organisations (DSOs).
Agilio CEO Neil Laycock said: “This is an innovative deal that allows Agilio and DCME to provide greater choice to the dental industry with products suited to the full range of customer needs. Rajiv has built a strong entry-level compliance solution, and he will continue to lead the development of the DCME compliance product for independents and smaller dental groups. Both Agilio and DCME are ambitious, fast-growing companies with reputations for excellent customer service. We are looking forward to this new partnership.”
Rajiv Lakhani, CEO and founder of DCME, said: “After an incredibly successful journey of building a business that meets the needs of practices seeking a simple-to-use compliance product, we are delighted to be partnering with Agilio and its range of products so we can invest even more strongly in servicing customers’ evolving requirements.”
