The People of Veterinary Medicine

Answering all your veterinary technology related questions. 1. Grace - "Is it worth it to get a cloud system with all the bells and whistles, or should we keep it simple?" 2. John - " We went through a complete system shut down last week. No internet as well. Now it seems that Avimark is running really slow" 3. Emma - "We are in an older building and the cabling seems to be a bit of a nightmare. We have cables everywhere. We looked at working with a local company to re-wire everything and it was really expensive. Any advice?” 4. Lucas - "We are on Cornerstone currently and we seem to like it. But it seems every week we get a sales call from another cloud system. Do we run any risks by not moving to the cloud?" 5. Mia - "We have a local IT company but the problem seems that no one understands our needs. Every time we call I feel we have to re-explain everything. But we are stuck in a contract. Is there something we can do to make it better?” 6. Noah - "Any reliable and budget-friendly printers out there?" 7. Isabella - "How can we train our team to use a new cloud system without losing our minds?" 8. Oliver - "When is the right time to ditch our old PCs? What are the signs they’re past their prime?" 9. Ava - "Printer setup woes—any quick tips for making it less of a hassle?"
