VisionWeb to Integrate with
Compulink Business System's Advantage
Practice Management Software
Austin, Texas - June
16, 2003 -
VisionWeb, the premier Internet tool to help eyecare providers streamline and
simplify their practice, announced today that it has entered into an agreement
with Compulink Business Systems to integrate VisionWeb into Compulink's
Advantage Practice Management Software for the eyecare industry.
"We would like all eyecare practices
to be able to use VisionWeb and connect to the service in a way that makes the
most sense to them," said Jim Vitkus, vice president and CMO.
"Since many eyecare providers already
utilize Compulink's Advantage practice management software in their day-to-day
operations, this integration will enable them to access VisionWeb to facilitate
the ordering process while continuing to conduct business as usual."
There are currently more than 2,000
active users of Compulink's Advantage software in the eyecare industry. Once the integration is complete, Compulink
will provide access to VisionWeb through its Advantage software to all users
with a support agreement.
"We are very excited to be working
with VisionWeb on this integration," said Link Wilson, president of
Compulink. "We pride ourselves in
offering our customers a highly powerful and competitive software package, and
we believe that the ability to access VisionWeb directly from the Advantage
software will be an added benefit to our customers to help them increase the
efficiency of their practices."
Advantage customers will be able to
place orders for spectacle lenses, frames and contact lenses over VisionWeb
directly through the Advantage software.
In addition, they will be able to take advantage of other VisionWeb
features including order tracking, access to a comprehensive collection of
industry and clinical news and information, access to accredited online
Continuing Education courses and other benefits.
Eyecare providers who are interested
in learning more about the plans for this integration, as well as other
VisionWeb services, can visit the VisionWeb Cyber Café in booth #1151 at the
upcoming AOA Congress. The AOA Congress
is being held at the San Diego Convention Center from June 19-21, 2003, in San
Diego, Calif. For more information or
