Star provides professional services to help our customers realize
the most value from their investments in our products. VisionStar
maintains a staff of optical and information technology professionals

Site
Survey
A
VisionStar consultant will visit a customer’s site
to assess their current operations, manufacturing practices,
business practices,
unique customization requirements and environmental needs.
VisionStar uses the completed site survey as a tool to ensure
delivery
of the appropriate applications, services and hardware to
a new user of our products. The site survey assists Vision
Star in providing
an optimum installation of the VisionStar LMS System.
Implementation
A
VisionStar implementation team works closely with the customer
in the implementation process on all projects. Project plans are
developed prior to implementation and both parties agree to the
plan in writing. In developing the implementation plan, a VisionStar
Account Manager reviews each customer’s business requirements,
prepares an installation project list, identifies personnel requirements,
ensures environmental requirements are met, and participates in
training sessions.
During
the implementation of VisionStar LMS, the Account Manager
will work with the customer in a team effort to develop and manage
the
implementation plan as well as keep the project on schedule.
The Account Manager will ensure that the collection of production
data
and development of the database are proceeding according
to the customer’s plan, questions regarding system capabilities
and to use of the system are resolved, and work required
to prepare the facility for the installation of the server and
the network
is on schedule.
Training
VisionStar’s
training courses are designed to provide new customers with
a working knowledge of VisionStar LMS. Supplemental and advanced
training
courses can be customized for existing customers to meet
advanced requirements. The initial training course for the System
Administrator
includes an overview of system features, database management,
routine maintenance, and an assessment of operational procedures
and workflow.
Classes
begin with an overview of the system to be installed and proceed
through each of the functions required to develop the requisite
knowledge to use the system in a productive way.
Support
VisionStar
maintains a support staff that includes optical retail, optical
manufacturing, and information systems processing professionals
to provide telephone support to our customers. Support is offered

Star will continue to include new optical technologies, production
