For years, the veterinary industry has been underserved from technology and advancements in technical management. While veterinary medicine has advanced significantly, many practices have not invested the resources to capitalize on the efficiencies that technology can bring to their practice, with regard to medical modalities and medical information management.

A significant number of veterinary practices employ multiple technology tools/solutions in their regular practice activities. Regardless of the particular systems utilized, the majority of these practices have not fully integrated the various tools being employed, nor do they realize the advantages of improving their technology management.

Current solutions for information and technology management fail to capture the specific needs of veterinary practitioners. No enterprise-level solution currently incorporates all aspects of technical veterinary medicine, either within the practice itself, or among the greater industry landscape. Additionally, sharing veterinary information between practices and across the world is a process that has never before been undertaken.

ASTERIS addresses a host of current market failures, identified by leading veterinary practitioners, which include:

• Failure to provide real-time availability to studies, records, and medical information
• Significant capital investment requirements for currently available options
• Heavy reliance on IT infrastructure within the practice landscape
• Inadequate disaster recovery and archive integrity
• Lack of complete website integration and external access capabilities
• Absence of the ability to manage the full breadth of modern modalities
• Nonexistent scalable, customizable solutions to meet specific practice needs

• Provide effective solutions for managing all modalities and sensitive information for the veterinary practitioner
  
  
• Facilitate the sharing of information between veterinary practitioners and affiliated parties
  
  
• Allow veterinary practitioners to better focus on their core competencies: providing high quality veterinary care and client services
