“We set a goal to be a single source vendor for all clinical aspects of
an acute care facility. Today that goal is being realized.” |
Fred E. Beck,
J.D.
President and Co-founder
Fred Beck is a software engineer, entrepreneur and lawyer. Mr. Beck brings
to the table 25 years of software development experience (20 of those years
in healthcare) and the creativity to think beyond the next sale. Mr. Beck
began creating software solutions for shop floor automation in 1979 and then
moved into writing research software to aid geneticists in their research
and development efforts. In 1983, Mr. Beck's expertise in complex data structures
and shop floor automation lead him to develop laboratory information systems
for a West German software company. The sudden demise of that company caused
Mr. Beck and Mr. Rhoads to combine their knowledge and experience in order
to create a support mechanism for the laboratory customers left without support.
The small support company morphed into a development company as its new customers
asked for new and better products. Many of those original customers who upgraded
to the new OpusLab product are still customers today.
His entrepreneurial spirit has served him well as he helped shape opportunity
into success, growing the company from a two person start-up to a leader
in Web-based clinical solutions.
