Successfully migrated from their old system, complete with all the history gathered together in one place, there is now a mix of new Mac computers and Windows PCs. "It's horses for courses!" said Eclipse Veterinary Software Ltd's CEO, Jeanne Razzell. "In the clinical areas, using OsiriX for image viewing and equipping some of the vets with high calibre laptops means that it's just a lot easier when people need to work with diagnostic images. Where all that's needed is a screen and a keyboard with Eclipse and Microsoft Office, a Windows PC can be a cost-effective option."

Eclipse is a totally integrated system, presenting everything including lab tests, vets reports, client and billing information, Dicom images – all in one place and accessible via the animal history. Eclipse is easy to learn to use and very consistent in the way the user interface works so the learning curve is less steep for everyday users than similar software, even though the practice management features are more extensive for equine vets than many others.

BASIS' first run out was celebrated by a major triumph for Tattersalls Ireland with the first horse in a February Sale going for 100,000 euros. The highest previous price for a horse at this sale, historically, was 80,000 euros.

BASIS is designed specifically to meet the business needs of the Tattersalls organisation. For the Newmarket sales there is also an iPhone and iPad app as an integral part of the system, complete with all the pedigrees plus updates and withdrawals. Sales results are immediately available as horses go through the ring, and the Make-an-Offer facility can also be accessed via the app. Tattersalls catalogues for sales from the year 2000 to date are now available to search and view, saving an awful lot room on that bookshelf!

Three Counties are looking forward to a much more streamlined back-office system. They have opted to take the full suite of Practice Management, Lab, Pharmacy and PACS programs, enabling completely integrated operation of the whole practice. The great thing is that all parts of the system have the same look and feel, making it quick to learn and easy-to-use.
"We spent a long time choosing our new IT system", said Practice Manager, Sarah Smith, "and in Eclipse I believe we are bringing in a proven winner!

"The Eclipse team have spent time with us learning about the way the practice works, and are taking care to ensure that as complete a history of clients and animals as possible is brought forward into the new system. They really understand the in's and out's of equine practice and we are delighted to be migrating to a really modern, well-designed software suite. Eclipse PMS and PACS is still developing new features and we will be able to take advantage as these become part of the standard installation", Sarah added.

"It will streamline some very time-consuming processes for us and help improve the service we are able to provide" said Tattersalls Ireland General Manager, Roger Casey. "And a brilliant end to the auction season, both here and at Tattersalls Newmarket, with the December sales results significantly up on the previous four years, was the perfect way to celebrate!"
