VISIONWEB EXPANDS ORDER PROCESSING CAPABILITIES FOR LABORATORIES New Functionality Enables Labs Using Optifacts Software to Electronically Submit Orders to Labs Using Any VisionWeb-Connected Lab Management System Indianapolis, IN (2007 OLA Meeting) - November 15, 2007 VisionWeb, the premier provider of technology services to the optical industry, announced today the addition of new functionality to VisionWeb’s Open Network Exchange service (VisionWeb O.N.E.) that will enable laboratories using Optifacts Lab Management Software to electronically submit and route orders to laboratories using any of the six VisionWeb-connected lab management software systems. Previous VisionWeb O.N.E. functionality enabled labs using Optifacts Lab Management Software to receive inbound orders through VisionWeb O.N.E. from eye care providers and labs using other VisionWeb-connected lab management systems. With the addition of this new functionality, Optifacts labs can now send outbound orders electronically through VisionWeb O.N.E. to labs using any lab management system connected with VisionWeb. “The new VisionWeb O.N.E. functionality will result in more efficient order routing and fully automated electronic order processing among laboratories using Optifacts Software, ” said Mike O'Malley, COO and CFO for VisionWeb. “We are pleased to offer this enhanced service to labs to process orders with greater speed and accuracy, leading to increased efficiency and improved job turnaround time.” Steve Morris, President of Optifacts, adds, “This is a huge step towards achieving unrestricted B2B order routing among all labs. The potential benefit for Optifacts labs is significant as this leading-edge technology comes online and we are very pleased to offer it to our customers to help grow their business.” VisionWeb O.N.E. allows eyecare practices, retail locations, and optical laboratories to send orders electronically to processing centers or other laboratories, from sources other than a traditional web site. With VisionWeb O.N.E., there is no need to re-key order information or phone or fax the order. This technology helps increase efficiency and reduces errors for the customer and the laboratory processing the lens job. Additionally, VisionWeb O.N.E. is the most robust product in the market that works across multiple software platforms, helping to drive-down inefficiencies associated with the transfer of information. Earlier this year, VisionWeb O.N.E. received a nomination for a 2007 OLA Award of Excellence in the category of Processing Materials & Tools. This category includes products and services that improve the processing of materials, including software and technology services. The OLA Award of Excellence is one of the most prestigious awards offered by the optical industry.
