OcucoRelcon acquires SAS

OcucoRelcon has acquired the SAS practice management software business unit from Integrity Software for an undisclosed sum.

OcucoRelcon currently provides its FOCUS and Acuitas practice management systems to over 1,200 optical sites in UK and Ireland. The company said this week that the acquisition of SAS, the company which pioneered PC-based systems in the UK optical market, will ensure that customers have access to the latest systems.

OcucoRelcon's chief executive officer, Al Chetwode, said: 'The SAS development philosophy has been very similar to our own - focused on tangible benefits. We expect to achieve synergies through access to a larger products base and the deep well of experience the SAS team brings to the wider company.'
