Eyefinity and CC Systems Announce Launch of Online Lab Order Integration

Succession of Participating Labs Now Offer Integrated Ordering Process

FOLSOM, CA, May 4, 2004 -- Eyefinity, the optical industry's most widely used Internet portal, and CC Systems, the leading developer of optical software applications for integrated Optical Laboratory and Retail management, have announced the launch of lab integration with CC Systems, which is now available in a succession of participating labs.

Through this integration, labs using the CC Systems lab management software system are able to seamlessly process lab orders originated at Eyefinity. CC Systems is the first lab software system to integrate VSP and private lab orders from Eyefinity's portal directly into its system, which includes all pricing and invoicing for any VSP plan. The integration is seamless, eliminating the need to audit order entry before processing.

"Eyefinity is committed to developing new technology aimed at streamlining processes between the private practice and optical laboratories," says Dave Delle Donne, Eyefinity's vice president of sales and marketing. "This joint development with CC Systems demonstrates both organizations' desire to bring valued solutions to private practice."

"We are excited about partnering with Eyefinity on this important interface," adds Steve Dombey, E-Commerce Sales Executive at CC Systems. "Our lab customers are lining up to promote this new service to their eyecare providers."

Participating labs now include Opti-Matrix, Vision Service Plan's Columbus, Ohio lab, and Tri-City Optical lab.

"We are very happy with the new process," says Jeff Anderson of Opti-Matrix. "It has sped up the processing of VSP jobs through our lab, which makes everyone happy, including our doctors who are experiencing a faster turn-around time."

Richard Hoerbelt of Tri-City Optical adds, "I'm delighted to see the successful electronic transmission of the data directly into our lab management software."
