About

Canada’s largest dental services organization relied on a third-party platform to extract and manage clinic data across a nationwide network. As the organization expanded, limited control, rising costs, and vendor dependency became barriers to scalable analytics. Veltris modernized the data foundation, enabling centralized visibility, greater operational control, and a platform ready for AI.

Own the data. Unlock the intelligence.


Challenge

Scaling a national dental network without vendor constraints

A legacy SQL Server-based architecture depended on a third-party extraction agent, limiting flexibility, transparency, and operational control. The organization needed a self-managed platform that could centralize data from more than 1,000 clinics, eliminate vendor dependency, and support future analytics and AI initiatives.

PAIN POINTS

  • Vendor-controlled data extraction
  • Limited visibility across clinic operations
  • Growing infrastructure costs and complexity
  • No scalable foundation for enterprise analytics and AI

Greater control. Smarter decisions.


Solution

A self-managed platform built for growth 

Veltris designed a scalable data engineering architecture that replaced the legacy vendor-controlled approach. A custom Windows-based PMS Agent and centralized administration portal automated data extraction across ABELDent, Dentrix, PowerPractice, and Tracker while providing complete operational visibility.
Secure Snowflake ingestion through Snowpipe, combined with AES encryption, PHI protection, AWS S3 archiving, and governed data processing, created a compliant, AI-ready platform supporting analytics across the entire clinic network.
STEP FLOW

Extract → Centralize → Govern → Enable AI

One trusted foundation. Every clinic connected.
