Vet solutions adds to portfolio through aquisition of IT systems

Specialist practice management software company, Vet solutions, has acquired IT Systems. Both companies are well - established in supplying software management systems to veterinary practices nationwide.

Surrey-based IT Systems was established by James Seddon 12 years ago and has been innovative in its development of its management systems, initially vetpos and latterly Clinical Assistant.

“The company now needs to take advantage of the latest technology and support techniques,” says Mr Seddon. “As part of Vet solutions, it will reap the benefit of their substantial investment in training and support services, and enjoy some economies of scale in development projects.”

Vet solutions is one of the largest providers of practice management systems in the UK, already supporting over 520 practices using either Premvet5 or Robovet3 systems.

“We pride ourselves on delivering top quality support to users of our products through our administration centre in Edinburgh,” says chief executive of Vet solutions Julian Bryan. “We will extend this level of support to users of Vetpos and Clinical Assistant, and we will employ the expertise of IT Systems’ Chris Carr who has more than 11 years’ experience in the company’s two products.”

Other than using a different support line telephone number, veterinary practices using IT Systems software will experience very little change in the short term. “Longer term, both the Vet solutions’ and IT Systems’ portfolios stand to benefit. We will make our unique support and training services available to all product users, “adds Mr Bryan.

“At the same time, the portfolio of products will benefit from the technical expertise of James Seddon who will continue to work for the company and specialise in the development work for at least the next two years.”

James Seddon and Julian Bryan will be on the Vet solutions stand at the BSAVA Congress on 1-4 April at the BSAVA Congress, Birmingham.
