VisionWeb Members Gain Online Access to Labs Running Optical Software’s OMICS System
Austin, Texas—March 11, 2005 — VisionWeb, the online service to help eyecare providers streamline and simplify their practices, and Optical Software Inc., a leading software provider for the eyecare industry and developer of OMICS laboratory management software, announced today the completion of the integration between VisionWeb and OMICS lab management software.
“We are very happy to be able to provide our members with access to additional labs to make the ordering of their products more convenient,” said Mike O’Malley, vice president of business development for VisionWeb. “Our ability to partner with labs running OMICS software brings us closer to our goal of seamlessly connecting the eyecare marketplace to drive out inefficiencies.”
OMICS lab management software supports more than 200 labs within North America and an increasing number outside the United States. With this integration, customers can place electronic orders via the internet to labs running OMICS V6.0 software. Each order is automatically received and placed into processing by the labs OMICS system, virtually eliminating delays associated with traditional ordering methods. Customers will also be able to track the status of their orders online, 24/7.
“With the integration of VisionWeb and OMICS, our lab customers are able to connect to VisionWeb for smoother order processing, saving them time and money,” commented Jodi Nickerson of Optical Software Inc.
Southwest Lens, in Dallas, TX, is the first OMICS lab to be electronically accessible through VisionWeb. Next up will be Robertson Optical Laboratories, Inc. in Greenville, SC and Columbia, SC. Additional labs running OMICS software will follow in the near future.
Optical Software Inc. also plans to incorporate the VisionWeb O.N.E. (Open Network Exchange) process in OMICS to handle order outsourcing between labs. Development is already underway with an anticipated release to OMICS labs later this year.
Interested lab owners should contact Jodi Nickerson, vice president of sales at Optical Software Inc. at (506) 857-1707, or Mike O’Malley, vice president of business development at VisionWeb, at (512) 241-8512.
