Scottsdale, AZ-based SaaS company addresses medical industry’s need to
deliver timely patient access to electronic EHR information with
Meaningful Use-certified patient portal

Scottsdale, Ariz. — February 15, 2012 — Omedix, a national provider of
the leading patient engagement platform for medical practices, has
secured Series A funding from Scottsdale-based private equity firm
Canal Partners LLC and Boston-based Long River Ventures. With more
than 1,400 medical providers across the U.S. relying on Omedix
solutions to improve patient engagement, Omedix is using the funds to
accelerate product development, expand sales coverage and better serve
partners.

At the forefront of one of the fastest growing trends for 2012 in the
medical industry, Omedix enables practices to handle all of their
patient engagement needs with Omedix Engage™, a patient engagement
platform that delivers a single solution, a single integration and a
single vendor relationship. Omedix Engage powers all Omedix services
and solutions including its flagship product, the Omedix Patient
Portal™. Delivering unmatched ease of use and deep integration with
select Practice Management and Electronic Health Record (EHR) systems,
Omedix Patient Portal is one of the most powerful and intuitive
solutions to streamlining patient registration on the market. Omedix
Patient Portal is also certified as a Meaningful Use module.

“We built Omedix Engage and Omedix Patient Portal to address a void
with legacy portal solutions only executing on a small fraction of the
potential for patient engagement. By building a solution with the
latest technology, informed by the latest industry insights, and
engineered right from day one, we are enabling medical practices to
provide high-impact, patient self-service solutions that ultimately
lead to streamlined operations and a superior patient experience,”
says Omedix founder Josh Padnick, who serves as president and CEO.
“We’re thrilled with the strong market acceptance for our offering and
can now build on this momentum to fuel our continued rapid growth.”

Omedix’s Path to Series A Funding

According to Padnick, who initially founded Omedix as a web design
company in 2002, the backing of Canal Partners and Long River
Ventures, along with a number of angel investors, provides his company
with access to the ideal combination of CEO-level experience, local
resources and healthcare IT thought leadership. While Canal Partners
has decades of experience ushering the growth of software and internet
technology companies, Long River Ventures has a proven track record
with early stage health care IT investments.

“We were impressed with Omedix’s ability to identify and capitalize on
significant trends in healthcare IT,” says Jim Armstrong, managing
partner of Canal Partners. “By developing their proprietary patient
engagement platform on Amazon Web Services, the Omedix team is
leveraging all the cost savings, scalability and accelerated set-up
benefits of cloud computing. Plus their strategy of partnering with
such EHR leaders as SRSsoft and integrating with vendors like NextGen
and GE Centricity paves the way for seamless integration with the
industry’s top EHR systems and a robust sales pipeline for many years
to come.”

Armstrong is a founder and former CEO of Scottsdale, Ariz.-based JDA
Software Group (Nasdaq:JDAS). Along with serving as chairman of JDA’s
board of directors, he is a director and president of JDA Investments,
Inc.; chairman of Omnilink Systems, Inc.; director for NETtime
Solutions, LLC. and director for WebPT, Inc. As part of Canal
Partner’s investment in Omedix, Armstrong serves as an adviser to the
Omedix leadership team and observes its board of directors.

“Increasingly patients expect to interact with their physicians and
their office staff electronically.” says Will Cowen, managing partner
of Long River Ventures. “We invested in Omedix because they are
delivering a next-generation patient engagement platform that
streamlines routine transactions today, and will facilitate more
complex interactions as patients and providers assume risk under
healthcare reform.”

Cowen brings over 20 years of early stage company building experience
as a CEO of several start-ups, and as an early stage venture investor.
He serves, or has served, on the board of numerous companies
including, Convergent Dental, GetWellNetwork, Healthrageous,
lifeIMAGE, Medical Metrx Systems, MedVentive, Phreesia, Solais, and
Verax Biomedical. He also serves on the Omedix board.

Recruiting New Talent for Omedix’s Headquarters in Scottsdale

Since closing on the transaction in fourth quarter 2011, Omedix is
actively recruiting software engineers and sales representatives to
work at its Scottsdale headquarters to help meet increased demand for
its products and services. Omedix services are already in use at such
stellar clients as Drs. Goodman & Partridge, Arizona Digestive Health,
Biltmore Cardiology, Midwest Orthopedics at Rush University and the
Alaska Heart Institute. While Omedix has clients in 40 states and
counting, Padnick estimates that about 30 percent of the medical
practices and physician offices that use his company’s products and
services are headquartered in Arizona.

Alzheimer’s Patient Tracking Can Increase Longevity and Decrease Healthcare Costs

ATLANTA, Feb. 2, 2012 /PRNewswire/

Omnilink Systems (www.omnilink.com), a leader in location-based services (LBS) technology today noted that its Chief Development Officer, Steve Hudson, is speaking at the M2M Evolution Conference hosted by TMC on February 1 & 2 in Miami, Florida. Hudson will speak at the conference session “Remote Patient Care: No Longer Out of Sight or Out of Mind,” scheduled from 2:30 PM to 3:15 PM on February 1st, which will describe the capabilities of current remote Alzheimer’s patient tracking technologies. During the session, Hudson will spotlight ComfortZone and Comfort Zone Check-In—two tracking solutions created by Omnilink in partnership with the Alzheimer’s Association and Sprint.

An estimated 5.4 million people have Alzheimer’s disease, which results in $183 billion in annual costs, according to the Alzheimer’s Association. Caring for those with Alzheimer’s is difficult—because individuals often become confused and wander—and 50% of people with Alzheimer’s or dementia who wander will suffer serious injury or death if not found within 24 hours. By consistently monitoring the patient’s location, remote health care systems have the potential to stop wandering once it begins, increase patient safety and longevity, and decrease healthcare costs.

“It’s critical that we educate people about the life-saving personal tracking solutions mobile brings to market,” said Hudson. “Location-based services experts like Omnilink, and nationwide wireless networks have combined to produce advanced, end-to-end tools that can help protect individuals with Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia.”

A telecommunications veteran and architect of Sprint’s location-based services business plan, Steve Hudson has worked in industry leadership positions for two decades. He is a frequent speaker at industry conferences and content contributor for the media. As Omnilink’s Chief Development Officer, Hudson expands global distribution, product portfolio, and solutions capabilities through business partnerships with wireless carriers, device manufacturers, systems integrators, software vendors, and private enterprises.

Brookfield, WI /24-7PressRelease/

BROOKFIELD, WI, January 25, 2012 /24-7PressRelease/ — On Friday, January 27, Concurrency and Microsoft Corporation are teaming up to offer the Milwaukee business community insight into best-practice Microsoft marketing automation and web content management techniques. This educational event is part of Concurrency’s ongoing series of hands-on sessions that highlight cutting-edge technology designed to boost business productivity.

Concurrency and Microsoft will demonstrate how to use Microsoft’s Dynamics CRM 2011 capabilities to manage both sales and marketing across varied media. This new tool set revolutionizes how companies can measure–and, therefore, effectively manage–an inbound marketing strategy that connects brands to potential customers by offering targets valuable content, engaging with them in social media, and seeking over time to convert these potential customers into sales leads.

Presenters will also highlight integration of the low-cost but powerful third-party product ClickDimensions, for tracking online advertising. ClickDimensions can be tightly integrated with Dynamics CRM 2011 for single-source collection of data from all marketing media and channels into one centralized source of data for marketing and sales managers. Companies taking this integrated approach to sales and marketing find the lead qualification process is improved.

Said Concurrency CEO James Savage, “In this economy, companies can’t simply get the job done–they have to get the job done intelligently. In the marketing discipline, that means having tightly integrated software tools to manage disparate aspects of the marketing process–rather than struggling with platforms for sales and marketing that don’t talk to each other. Without that integration, companies often end up with expensive CRM systems that don’t get used.”

As Microsoft’s Midwest Region Partner of the Year, Concurrency has special expertise in cutting-edge tools for marketing automation including SharePoint For-Internet-Sites (FIS) and Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011. In addition to also highlighting ClickDimensions, the educational program will cover approaches to search-engine optimization.

The program runs from 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. on Friday, January 27, 2012 and will be held at Microsoft’s Waukesha facility. Local business and technology managers are invited to register for the event at Microsoft marketing automation Event Registration page.

The program is tailored for an audience of business and marketing executives, as well as systems architects and IT professionals.
