ORS Partners Provides ‘White Label’ Recruiting Solutions to Support Liquidity Events for Ten Fast-Growth Clients

AUDUBON, PA, September 20, 2017 – Sizable investments warrant expert support, according to ORS Partners (ORS), an outsourced recruitment solutions firm that partners with venture capital and private equity backed companies to provide strategic talent acquisition programs. Since 2012, ORS has been providing employers in the Mid-Atlantic region the talent they need to build their businesses successfully.

Talent acquisition is a core business function for all growth organizations, yet most companies are not experts in the acquisition and retention of human capital. ORS is comprised of over 70 talent acquisition experts that become the outsourced, ‘in-house’ recruitment consultants and brand ambassadors for their clients. Over 140 organizations have trusted ORS to carry their business card and act as an extension of their team to deploy best practices in attracting and hiring talent.

In five years, ORS has helped ten clients successfully grow and scale their teams in preparation for liquidity events including: Whiptail acquired by Cisco in September 2013; Pet360 acquired by PetSmart in September 2014; iLEVEL acquired by Ipreo in June 2015; iPipeline acquired by Thoma Bravo in August 2015; Centrak acquired by Halma February 2016; IntegriChain acquired by Accel-KKR in March 2016; Operative acquired by SintecMedia in November 2016; MacroPoint acquired by Descartes in August 2017; Frontline Education acquired by Thoma Bravo in August 2017.

Trevose, PA, August 16, 2017 – Data Systems Analysts, Inc. (DSA), a leading provider of secure information sharing technology solutions to the Federal Government market, was named to Inc. magazine’s annual Inc. 5000, an exclusive ranking of the nation’s fastest-growing private companies. 2017 marks DSA’s ninth inclusion in the rankings since Inc. 5000’s first list in 2007.

President and Editor-In-Chief Eric Schurenberg notes that DSA earned the position of 3517 on the 2017 Inc. 5000 and that earning its place in the Inc. 5000 for the ninth time is an extraordinary accomplishment. “Of the tens of thousands of companies that have applied to the Inc. 5000 over the years,” Mr. Schurenberg explains, “only a fraction has made the list more than once. A mere half a percent has made the list nine times”.

“We are very proud of our continued growth and recognize that our company’s success reflects the superior performance of our employees and is earned through their hard work and focus”, said Fran Pierce, CEO of DSA. “We are committed to providing our customers the highest quality services and to forging strong relations with our industry partners. These values sustain and enhance our success in a dynamic business environment”.

The 2017 Inc. 5000 is ranked according to percentage revenue growth when comparing 2013 to 2016. To qualify, companies must have been founded and generating revenue by March 31, 2013. They had to be U.S.-based, privately held, for profit, and independent-not subsidiaries or divisions of other companies-as of December 31, 2016.

The CEO at Exit: Prepare; Talk; Listen; Empathize

Amanda Nardi

Being the CEO and running your business during “normal days” is full of challenges whether you are growing fast, slow, or not at all.  When the opportunity arises, either by luck or happenstance or by your own decision and initiative, to go down the path of exiting (selling) your business, a very different array of challenges emerges for you.  Because now you are entering a process for which you were never trained, and if you are lucky, perhaps you experienced this once, maybe twice, but likely never at all.  There is not a single CEO I have worked with or spoken to about the exit process who has not defined it as anything but the complex, confusing and convoluted process that it is.  So if this is the feeling of the CEO about the exit process, you can easily imagine the emotional and physical state of every member of the CEO’s team as they live through this too.  Then what do you need to do to lead your team to perform, cope with, and survive the process to not only the closing but through life thereafter?

The Connected Health Cloud: From Concept to Catalyst

Amanda Nardi

Recently, a local organization and PACT member,  CloudMine, was cited as a leader in The Forrester Wave™: Enterprise Health Clouds, Q3 2017. The report was released on July 26, 2017 by Forrester Research, Inc., a leading global research and advisory firm, to help healthcare CIOs objectively evaluate enterprise health clouds.

Vendors were evaluated on 37 criteria, grouped into current offering, market presence, and strategy. Ten vendors were evaluated, each one providing: easy integration with major EHR providers; the ability for enterprises to develop a 360-degree view of their patients; advanced analytics capabilities, including patient analytics; SDK and API inclusion; data governance and access management; and HIPAA compliance in handling PHI. CloudMine was one of five vendors cited as a leader.

The vision of digital transformation of healthcare is expressed through many innovations, including major initiatives telemedicine, IoT/wearables integration, mobile-enabled clinical trials, and integrated disease management. With the emergence of policy mandates such as the 21st Century Act and MACRA, the motivation to accelerate this transformation is increasing. However, a significant gap exists in this evolution: a lack of interoperability poses a major barrier to achieving connected health. CloudMine, a venture-backed health cloud platform provider, is leading the way to a more agile, better connected healthcare experience.

Communicator awards honor excellence in marketing and communications

Hollister Creative, a Philadelphia area marketing communications agency, has been honored with a 2017 Communicator Award for the James A. Michener Art Museum’s Charles Sheeler exhibition website, Charlessheeler.org. The recognition continues the agency’s winning streak for international awards, bringing its total to 24 in the last five years.

The museum, located in Bucks County, wanted a special website for the exhibition on Sheeler, a Condé Nast fashion photographer from 1926 to 1931. Museum leaders challenged Hollister Creative to make the entire site design a reflection of Sheeler’s unique sensibility, creating an environment that would inspire interest in the exhibition and drive ticket sales. Hollister’s designers followed the spirit of the artist to design the Charles Sheeler website as he might have designed it.
