Ocuco has acquired cloud-based practice management software firm See20/20 for an undisclosed amount.
The company said the deal secured the future of the See20/20 products for current customers, and built on its current UK market presence in cloud-based solutions.
See 20/20 products would continue to be supported, with Andy Chance-Hill appointed divisional director and located with the rest of the See20/20 team at Ocuco’s new offices in Brierley Hill, near Birmingham. He has worked with Ocuco for the past year on the development and launch of SaaS and OptiCommerce offerings.
Ocuco CEO Leo Mac Canna said: ‘We recognise that the software as a service or cloud deployment business model offers a low upfront cost service option which is particularly appealing for smaller independent opticians. The acquisition of See20/20 will extend our already existing capability to offer cloud-based practice management solutions to opticians.
‘We plan to improve See20/20 by integrating it with our OptiCommerce, adding an online sales and appointment booking channel to See20/20’s customers’ practices. We are also looking forward to benefiting from See20/20’s excellent pool of experienced talent in the development of cloud-based practice management solutions,’ he added.
