HIPAA-compliant cloud
A secure, managed environment for OfficeMate and ExamWRITER, with support for Eyefinity EHR.
Everything included
Hosting, backups, security, and upgrades in one plan. No hidden charges, no surprise line items.
A new name for what you already trust

Vela for OfficeMate is the next generation of Practice Anywhere, the same idea of your practice in the cloud, refined and ready for how you work today.
Why Think Smart
First to host OfficeMate in the cloud. The largest OfficeMate host today.
We put OfficeMate in the cloud first, back in 2006, and today we are the largest OfficeMate cloud host. That long, hands-on history is why practices count on us to run the software their day depends on.
First in the cloud, since 2006
We pioneered cloud-hosted OfficeMate and have refined it ever since.
The largest OfficeMate cloud host
More optometry practices run OfficeMate in the cloud with Think Smart than with anyone else.
Setup & migration
Switching is faster and calmer than you think.
Moving to the cloud is the part most practices dread. It is the part we have done more than anyone, and we have made it painless.
Up and running in days
Setup and migration take just a few days, not weeks. We do the heavy lifting so your team barely feels the switch.
Zero-disruption cutover
Keep working on your current server as usual. We migrate overnight, and the next morning your team logs into the new cloud server. No downtime while you are seeing patients.
Emergency setup in 24 hours
Server just died? If your practice is in a bind, we can stand up your OfficeMate cloud within 24 hours and get you back to seeing patients.
What stays the same
Your data, your devices, your equipment.
Moving to the cloud does not mean starting over. Your practice keeps running the way it does today.
Your patient data
The same OfficeMate and ExamWRITER records your team relies on, carefully migrated and kept safe.
Your computers and tablets
Keep the machines you have. Staff reach the cloud through the devices already on your desks.
Your printers and scanners
Prescriptions, statements, and document scanning keep working with the hardware you own.
Your ophthalmic equipment
Connect the instruments and imaging your lanes depend on, so exams flow the way they do now.
Anytime, anywhere, any device
One OfficeMate, wherever the day takes you.
Open a chart from the exam lane, finish notes from the front desk, or check the schedule from home. It is the same OfficeMate your staff already knows, reachable from wherever they are working.
From the lane
Pull up records mid-exam without leaving the room.
From the front desk
Check in patients and manage the schedule.
From home
Catch up on notes or billing after hours.
Always secure
Every connection runs through the managed cloud.
Escape the upgrade cycle
Never upgrade computer hardware for OfficeMate again.
The heavy lifting happens in our cloud, not on your machines. Keep the computers you have, stop chasing hardware requirements, and let the aging server in the back closet retire for good.
Security & support included
Fast-response support, ongoing maintenance, one team.
The same team that runs your cloud keeps it patched, backed up, and updated, and answers fast when you need a hand. No ticket walls, no re-explaining your setup to a stranger.
Fast-response support
Reach a human who knows your practice.
Phone: Mon–Fri, 5am–5pm PT
Live US-based support from real people.
Ongoing maintenance
Patches, backups, and upgrades handled.
Nothing extra to buy
It is all part of your hosting plan.
Questions
OfficeMate cloud hosting: frequently asked questions.
How does migrating OfficeMate to the cloud work?
We build your secure cloud environment, move your OfficeMate and ExamWRITER data into it, and coordinate the switch with your team. When you log in, everything looks and works the way it always has.
Will my practice have downtime during the migration?
We plan the cutover around your schedule to keep disruption to a minimum, typically moving outside clinic hours so your team starts the next day in the cloud.
Who owns my data?
You do. Your OfficeMate and ExamWRITER data is always your practice’s data. We host and protect it on your behalf.
Can we reach OfficeMate from home or a second location?
Yes. Securely reach your full OfficeMate system from any device, any location: the front desk, the exam lane, a second office, or home.
What about our printers, scanners, and ophthalmic equipment?
We host OfficeMate and your cloud environment and help keep it connected to the printers, scanners, and diagnostic instruments your lanes depend on, so exams and documents flow the way they do now.
What happens if our internet goes down?
Because your system lives in the cloud, your data is safe and reachable from anywhere with a connection. If your office loses internet, staff can still reach the system from another location or connection while your office link is restored.
Do you replace Eyefinity’s OfficeMate support?
No. Eyefinity still supports OfficeMate and ExamWRITER. We host and manage the environment they run in, and we’re the people who keep it up, backed up, and reachable. Two teams, both in your corner.
Is my patient data secure and backed up?
Yes. Your practice runs in a secure, HIPAA-compliant environment with managed backups. See our compliance page for how we protect your data.
How much does OfficeMate cloud hosting cost?
You can get an instant price for your practice right now. Answer a few questions and see everything that’s included, with no hidden charges.
What happens if we decide to leave?
Your data is yours. If you ever decide to move on, we work with you to return your practice data in a usable format and coordinate an orderly transition.
Ready to take your practice with you?
