Since I had previous product experience, I was able to assist clients with Inventory and Insurance setup and on going support of My Vision Express (MVE. I was able to complete VisionWeb, FramesData and Trizetto integrations for clients. I was also able to set up insurance fee schedules that assist owners in pre-determining actual sales and collections that create better and more accurate financial records. I was also fortunate to be invited to work with pre-release versions and provided higher level technical support to the developers. In my short tenure, I rediscovered my love of SQL. I wrote several routines that allowed for importing of new data for both inventory lenses, lens configurations and insurance fee schedules like DMERC. Unfortunately, I was let go due to downsizing within the organization. Show less
