Australia / New Zealand user survey ?

General User's Discussion

It might be worthwhile to complete an email survey of Australia & New Zealand Open VPMS users so that we can determine who uses which
a) Vet supply company, eg Lyppards, Provet, Cenvet, other.
b) Pathology companies, eg Gribbles, Symbion, Idexx, other, and -
c) Top selling products of users - by company eg Novartis, Bayer, etc.
As everyone knows unity is powerful and by approaching companies for support of Open VPMS en masse rather than as individual practices we have more chance of success. Companies like vet suppliers, path companies, or biochem machine distributors would be of most help in developing "plug ins" to allow instant downloads of their orders, results, etc to Open VPMS. Other companies like Bayer have been generous enough to support Open VPMS through their Accelerate program. Once we know who uses what we will be in a stronger negotiating position. As uptake occurs internationally users in other countries might adopt the same model. Comments or suggestions ?

I would happily support this initiative. Perhaps our implementors/installers could raise the option of being involved in this "census" of users when installing new users. Of course all information would be anonymised when collated. 2 questions. 1. Who would be responsible for collating the returned surveys and handling the sensitive data? 2. How would the information be made available? A statistics area on the website?

Great Idea. Matt C

and remain
