OfficeMate Software Solutions to Release OfficeMate Enterprise for Multi-Location Eyecare Businesses

Irvine, CA, January 2007 - OfficeMate Software Solutions has announced release dates for its multi-location OfficeMate Enterprise business management and ExamWRITER electronic medical records software. OfficeMate Enterprise will be undergoing live Beta testing early in the first quarter 2007 and be available for installation in multi-location eyecare businesses beginning in the second quarter of 2007. WebEx Internet demonstrations of the software are available now and at this year’s SECO and Vision Expo East shows.

Ed Buffington, President & COO of OfficeMate Software Solutions, states, “OfficeMate practice management software is used and trusted by more ECPs than any other software in the industry.” Utilizing the proven OfficeMate front end was a logical choice in the design of OfficeMate Enterprise. “Current and future OfficeMate clients will now have a centralized administration module to streamline and facilitate the management and reporting of multiple locations. Buffington noted, “We’re pleased to respond to our client’s demands and the industry’s requirement for a robust, affordable multi-location version of OfficeMate and ExamWRITER with an SQL database.”

OfficeMate Enterprise uses Microsoft SQL Server 2005 for data management and analysis to provide centralized setup and maintenance, billing, correspondence, purchasing, and reporting. OfficeMate Enterprise will also feature a new, multi-location resource scheduler written in Microsoft’s .NET architecture, centralized inventory tracking, inter-location inventory transfer and tracking, and regional product pricing. Another feature unique to OfficeMate Enterprise is a new Rx order status screen that provides “at-a-glance global views” of all current lab order statuses, payments, and postings to fee slips. Jim McGrann, OfficeMate’s CEO, notes, “OfficeMate Software Solutions is strongly committed to a Microsoft platform and partnership and the Web-enabled functionality and security our clients continue to demand.”

In addition, OfficeMate and ExamWRITER will offer an HL7 interface providing integration into Misys, Medent, IDX and Labzilla, Innovations, and many more practice and lab management systems in the future.
