Industry
Competition
The Company faces significant competition from healthcare and non-healthcare EDI processing companies. The Company also faces potential competition from other companies, such as vendors of provider information management systems, which have added or may add their own proprietary EDI processing systems to existing or future products and services. Competition may be experienced in the form of pressure to reduce per transaction prices or eliminate per transaction pricing altogether. If EDI processing becomes the standard for claims and information processing, a number of larger and better capitalized entities may elect to enter the industry and further increase competitive pricing pressures. Many of the Company's existing and potential competitors are larger and have significantly greater financial, marketing, technological and other resources than the Company. There can be no assurance that increased competition will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations.
Business
Plan
The Company's mission is to be the leading provider of integrated healthcare transaction processing technology, networks and databases, enabling its clients to improve the quality and efficiency of their services. To achieve this objective, the Company is pursuing a growth strategy comprised of the following elements: (I) Provide comprehensive suite of EDI solutions, (ii) Further penetrate existing client base, (iii) Develop new EDI products and services, (iv) Utilize strategic partnerships to expand client base and (v) Pursue strategic acquisitions.
