New to the cloud?

If you are used to 'on premises' practice management software, that is, software that you have downloaded and installed onto a computer yourself, you may be used to installing regular monthly updates and new service packs and full versions. With Bp Omni, all that is done for you! Best Practice Software will update Bp Omni and notify you of new features through messages and 'hotspots' in Bp Omni itself.

This page will still give you a summary of recent changes, with links to related knowledge base articles describing how to use the new features.

System requirements

None! Any reasonably recent computer, with a processor such as an Intel i3 or equivalent, will run Bp Omni. The following are suggested for an optimal Bp Omni experience:

  • Permanent Internet connection with a speed of 25 Mbps or greater
  • Minimum 15" monitor, running a resolution of at least 1152 x 768 at 16-bit colour or better and an SVGA compatible graphics card. Best Practice Software recommend using a 17" monitor running a resolution of at least 1280 x 1024 at 32-bit colour and an SVGA compatible graphics card.
  • Google Chrome browser offers the optimal experience when using Bp Omni, but any browser such as Microsoft Edge or Firefox will run Bp Omni. Ensure your browser is kept up to date with feature and security updates.

Getting started

If you have just started using Bp Omni for the first time, you will need to work through some setup before you can start booking appointments, creating invoices, and making ACC claims.
