The company ranked No. 1,902 as a result of achieving over 142 percent growth from 2006 to 2009, a significant move up from its ranking of No. 2,909 on the 2009 Inc. 5000 list.

- Information distribution – automates the secure transfer of information over the Internet in multiple formats (print, fax, email or file), easily integrating it into physician practices’ electronic medical records (EMRs) using the industry standard HL7 format.
- Business continuance – ensures up-to-date patient data is readily available in the event of a network or system outage.
- Scheduling and workforce automation – automates manual scheduling, enabling organizations to easily implement a complex schedule and efficiently manage staff.
The 2010 Inc. 5,000 serves as a unique illustration of the profound changes taking place in the U.S. economy.
