Health Care MSPs: Whatever Happened to gloStream EMR?

gloStream_CertifiedPartner

I'm not in a position to answer that question. At least not yet. That's why I'm reaching out to MSPmentor's readers — and ultimately, gloStream itself.

Why am I asking those questions? In recent weeks I've heard from a range of MSPs that are succeeding in the health care market. But many of those MSPs licked plenty of wounds all the way. Understanding the needs of health care practitioners is a tall challenge. The challenge becomes even more complicated when the MSP tries to master compliance challenges and the associated IT solutions. During those recent MSP conversations, each of us started asking that common question: Whatever happened to gloStream?

The company grabbed the spotlight at IT Nation 2010, hosting an elaborate party and positioning ERM as the next big opportunity for MSPs. That bash arrived about a year after gloStream raised $7.5 million in series B financing. The company also inked distribution agreements with D&H (2011) and Tech Data (2010).

What's the latest? When time permits I'll reach out to Mark Gum, executive VP of partners and practices, this week. But I'd also like to hear from MSPmentor readers. Which MSPs succeeded with gloStream? How and why? And if you didn't succeed: What went wrong? Feel free to post a comment or send me email, joe [at] NineLivesMediaInc.com.
