Joretta Beanland personifies energy and commitment.  In 1983, after years of office management experience and learning firsthand about practice management problems faced by orthodontists and their staffs, she joined an orthodontic software company.

For the next five years, she helped develop and improve their practice management software.  Working directly with orthodontic offices, she gained important insight into orthodontists’ software needs, expectations — and frustrations.

Joretta’s decision to launch New Horizons Software, Inc. in 1988 arose from her commitment to orthodontic practice management excellence. Her goal was simple: to make life easier for orthodontists and their staffs by creating advanced, intuitive, easy-to-use orthodontic practice software.  As part of that goal, she committed to providing the thorough, ongoing training and support that ensure her clients get the most out of their investment through time.

Today, Joretta stands by her original commitment to innovation and service. She still personally consults with many of her clients. “I enjoy training staff to use the NHS system to its fullest potential,” says Joretta. “Knowledge provides motivation, and motivation is the key to a successful practice. When the system is well designed and tasks are easy to accomplish, motivation turns into production — and that’s the real value of our software.  We make practice management easy.”

"Adding NHWebinars has been one of the easiest, but best investments of my time.  Being able to interact directly with the end users, hearing what is needed in each of their practices while training and suggesting ways of using OrthoExec as a tool to be as productive as possible, has been a joy."
