In 1969, Rich Tarrant and Robert Hoehl, both graduates
of St. Michael's College, co-founded a company called
Burlington Data Processing - performing payroll, billing,
and accounting functions. Over time the company began
specializing in the healthcare industry. As IDX Systems
Corporation, it grew to be a leading provider of healthcare
information technology solutions: maximizing value
in the delivery of healthcare, improving the quality
of patient service, enhancing medical outcomes, and
reducing the costs of care.
Not long after the company's 25th anniversary and
the hiring of its 1000th employee, IDX became the
largest home-grown company to go public in the history
of Vermont. In 2003, Rich stepped down as CEO to become
Chairman of the Board of Directors and has held that
seat through the company's recent acquisition by GE,
a global leader in medical imaging, healthcare services,
life sciences and information technology.
Rich will join VVN to discuss his experiences with
IDX over the last three decades.
Qvault was founded in 2003 in Essex Junction, Vermont.
Having grown from boot strap start up to become a
leading real estate and mortgage lending technology
services company with clients coast to coast; Qvault
is positioning itself for major growth via strategic
acquisitions while partnering with some of the largest
companies in the real estate and mortgage lending
industry.
Qvault has won awards for technology design and has
been recognized as ‘one of the top 10 companies to
watch in the mortgage technology industry’ by National
Mortgage News; the most respected journal in the mortgage
banking industry.
