Training Makes the Difference

ImaegWorks prides itself on our proven digital imaging equipment. But even we know that as superior as the equipment may be, it is useless if the user does not know how to use it. As a result, we are pleased to provide our clients with the following training selections.

Free Monthly Webinars

To help our veterinary customers become more comfortable with their equipment, we are pleased to provide a complimentary monthly webinar series. Each month, we focus on a common topic or issue in an effort to better educate and support our customers once they get past the initial purchase of their equipment.

We are currently focusing on ProImage - Tips and Techniques, a one-hour session. focusing on the ProImage Image Management Software supplied with each EVA-Vet Plus Digital Dental Imaging System. Contact us for information about the next webinar and how to join.
