DAVIS, CA—May 18, 2009—VetAnyware is a provider of business software applications and services for veterinarian practices located in the United States. Today, it announced that it is now providing commercial services and support for the industry’s first open source veterinary practice management software (VPMS) solution, OpenVPMS. OpenVPMS is based on interviews, and hands-on testing with veterinarians on their practice management needs. The new software solution delivers a robust and affordable system to veterinarians that would like to improve efficiency and save costs on unnecessary paperwork.

OpenVPMS is a unique, customer-built application that is affordable and directly addresses the needs of veterinary clinics operating in the United States. OpenVPMS is based on research conducted with veterinarian clinics that needed help streamlining and optimizing their veterinary operations. OpenVPMS offers a complete set of management tools that track electronic health records, detailed customer/client data, real-time appointment scheduling and pharmaceutical inventory. OpenVPMS has been designed from the ground up to focus on core veterinary business processes and activities, and is developed with features that provide efficiency and value to any veterinarian’s business.

“VetAnyware and OpenVPMS was founded on the belief that choice is a good thing. For too long, veterinary practice management software has been a closed system whereby veterinarians are being forced to buy a specific software package, or dictated to on what options are available to them. VetAnyware and OpenVPMS allows veterinarians the option and choice to use what they need and implement the software in the fashion they see fit.” said Albert T. Wong, founder of VetAnyware.

VetAnyware’s OpenVPMS offering enables veterinary clinics to easily and cost-effectively deploy a VPMS solution, which has customer and clinics benefits across a number of areas:

  • A central patient record database that reduces patient and medication recording errors
  • Easy-to-use budgeting tools that help identify all of the clinic’s assets
  • Eliminates client appointment conflicts and “mis-appointments”
  • Automates the inventory ordering processing and minimizes inventory overstocks
  • Keeps track of referrals and suppliers all in one single system
  • Secure, reliable access to veterinary practice information from anywhere through an internet browser
  • Lower Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) than competing solutions
  • Supports international languages input
