Software deal

Gerber Coburn, a leading provider of computer integrated optical lens processing systems, has sold its Innovations lab software product business to Ocuco Inc, a wholly owned US subsidiary of practice management software specialists Ocuco.

Gerber Coburn will continue to sell and distribute the product globally.

The move provides Ocuco Inc with a major in-road into the American market. The company has contracted with CC Systems to provide support and service of Innovations software in the Americas.

Robert Shanbaum, former director of software development at Gerber Coburn, will become president of Ocuco Inc.

In addition to providing Innovations service and support in the Americas, CC Systems will train Ocuco's staff to provide service and support outside North America.
