Free Webinar Series Teaches Eyecare Providers How to Automate Daily Business Processes and Increase Practice Efficiency

Austin, TX – May 7, 2008 - VisionWeb, the premier provider of technology services to streamline the eyecare practice, announced today the introduction of a free Webinar series, “The Automated Practice,” designed to educate eyecare providers on technology and services available to help them automate daily processes and increase efficiency in their businesses.

Representatives from VisionWeb-connected suppliers, practice management systems, industry partners and affiliates, and eyecare practitioners will join VisionWeb as Webinar panelists, sharing the ways that they have incorporated VisionWeb services, and offering insight to help participants create or refine their own strategy for effectively managing day-to-day business procedures. Webinars in this series feature a wide array of subject matter that is relevant to the eyecare professional.

The Webinar series will launch on May 15, with “The Easiest Way to Improve Order Accuracy”, featuring panelist Melissa Walters of Ultra Lens Optical. The following week, VisionWeb will host “Convenience and Efficiency: Benefits of Ordering through the Compulink and VisionWeb Integration”, featuring panelist Luanna Jackson, Integration Coordinator at VisionWeb.

Future Webinars will feature topics relevant to ordering eyecare products, practice management integrations, and processing insurance transactions with VisionWeb. Practice Management vendors featured in the series include Crystal PM, Abeo Solutions; OfficeMate, OfficeMate Software Solutions; MaximEyes, First Insight; My Vision Express, Insight Software; and OD Professional, EMRlogic Systems.

“Each of the Webinars in this series address separate, critical issues that challenge efficiency in the eyecare practice,“ said Ken Englehart, Chief Operating Officer for VisionWeb. “We are dedicated to helping reduce these inefficiencies and this effort gives us an exciting new platform to reach out to the eyecare provider. The feedback and testimonials of the industry-leading companies that will join us in these Webinars will be invaluable to the participants and we are truly honored to have their participation.”

Since VisionWeb technology connects eyecare providers to many of their suppliers, technology providers, and payers, the Webinar series gives panelists from these companies, an opportunity to share their VisionWeb experiences with eyecare providers. According to Melissa Walters of Ultra Lens Optical, “participating in this Webinar series allows us to explain the benefits of using VisionWeb from the lab’s perspective, so the eyecare providers will have a more comprehensive understanding of how online ordering helps a lab meet their ordering expectations. We experience heightened order accuracy when our customers submit their orders on VisionWeb, which allows us to process the order and deliver it to the customer faster. ”

Webinars in VisionWeb’s Automated Practice Series are free to attend and are open to all eyecare providers. Webinars are available at various times during the day and on several days each month, allowing a majority of eyecare providers and their staff to participate. Participants need only access to the Internet and the ability to dial in to a conference call to join the training sessions.
