July 1, 2010 - David Croslin joins the IQware team
We are happy to announce the addition of David Croslin to the IQware team. David is a globally recognized technology and business leader and is joining IQware as a consultant effective July 1st. David has led product and market innovation in global companies including his roles as Chief Technologist at Hewlett-Packard and Chief Product Architect at Verizon Business. David has acted as a trusted advisor to the executive teams of some of the largest companies in the world and has been instrumental in driving sales and evolving products for accounts valued at over $2B annually. David has twenty-five patents.

David is the author of the recently released Prentice-Hall book, Innovate the Future: A Radical New Approach to IT Innovation. In the six weeks since its release, the book has received praise from across highly diverse industries including telecommunications, electric utilities, venture capital, children's creativity, education and many others. Some of the executives that have read or are reading Innovate the Future include the CIO of AT&T, the CTO of Alcatel-Lucent and the CSO of Rogers Communications. David has been invited to speak on innovation at major global events including the Global Competitiveness Forum (GCF) in Riyahd in Jan, 2011. Previous speakers at the GCF include Bill Gates, Michael Dell, the President of the World Bank, Tony Blair and many others.

David's book is not like other books on innovation. It is not an analysis of historical case studies. Innovate the Future focuses on the future and provides a framework on how to deliver disruptive innovations and how to consistently deliver the best product with the highest transformative value to the customer.

We have been in discussions with David for the past 6 months. As stated above he has been busy finishing up a book. We contacted David to congratulate him on the release of his book and he stated "I'd rather be working with IQware." We asked him why IQware and he responded as follows.

"Software development and software products have largely evolved into commoditized markets driven by low labor rates and long time to market windows for custom features. This commoditization creates an environment of incremental innovation where products evolve slowly and markets and the competitors within those markets begin to stagnate.

In order to gain additional market share and to quickly enter new markets it is critical that companies be able to develop a 'good enough' foundational product that can then be quickly restructured and targeted at niche markets both large and small. This allows for economies of scale while at the same time delivering customized solutions. This further creates market disruptive innovations, such as the iPhone, that can completely shift or destroy older markets overnight.

I feel that IQware has created the perfect vehicle for shifting virtually any market from an incremental innovation model to a disruptive innovation model. The ability to create unique solutions in record time utilizing a foundational toolset that delivers secure and highly customizable and targetable applications is unique to IQware. IQware shifts software, product and market development from a technology based world into a business rules based world. IQware provides the ability to dynamically adjust a live application in real time based on desired modifications derived from an aggressive, highly competitive business model allowing companies to immediately respond to market changes and customer needs.

Any company deploying a product solution built on IQware can virtually overnight energize their market, maximally engage their employees and customers and disrupt the existing market status quo. IQware is in itself a highly disruptive technology that allows users of IQware to create new disruptive technologies."

David's desire to join IQware supports your belief in us and in our technology and adds to the credibility our marketing message.

Nov 1-3, 2009 - IQware attends Efficient Collaborative Retail Marketing's (ECRM) Pharmacy Services, Technology and Automation Show in Atlanta
Thanks to the referral by Tom Coughlin, former CEO of Wal-Mart, we were given the opportunity to attend ECRM's Pharmacy Services, Technology and Automation Trade Show in Atlanta on November 1^st through the 3^rd. ECRM is based in Solon, Ohio and produces unique trade shows that allow a vendor to have multiple one on one meetings with buyers from retail operations around the country and Canada. ECRM is one of the most service driven organizations we have ever encountered. We met with 36 companies representing over 15,000 retail pharmacies. We have agreed to schedule full online demos of the IQware MTM system with each of them so they can include other members of their organizations. Of those companies 35 confirmed their frustration with their current Pharmacy Management System (PMS) and the alternatives available on the market. They all understood the value of a Pharmacy Management System being developed on the IQware architecture with its capability, flexibility and security. They are all looking for a better long-term solution. All agreed that the window of opportunity is the next 18 to 24 months and showed interest in the IQware approach to this solution. One of the major points of interest was the shelf life of any program developed on the IQware architecture and its built-in security.

August 20, 2009 - IQware presents Worldwide Webinar to Hewlett Packard and EDS personnel
On August 26, 2009, Dr. Steve Belovich, CEO of IQware, will present a webinar to a worldwide audience of HP and EDS personnel. HP and EDS personnel will learn how IQware's secure, patented (US Patent #7,322,028, others pending), rule-based, Master Data Management Software system together with HP's OVMS operating system will quickly and directly benefit their customers.

Changes in workflow will not disrupt business processes for companies utilizing IQware's intelligent Master Data Management System. IQware's "business process experts" will simply change the rules for controlling function and presentation and seamlessly deliver an application that promptly addresses the workflow changes. This unique flexibility eliminates the "traditional" and costly code/compile/test/debug software development cycle. Furthermore,

IQware is hacker-resistant and immune to desktop viruses (uses a DoD C2/B2 platform)
IQware is rule-based so it can be changed on-the-fly and without programming
IQware is interoperable with existing, as well as emerging, technologies
IQware is very high security with complete, tamper-proof audit trail and comprehensive reporting

March 6, 2009 - Discount Drug Mart Deploys IQware MTM At Wooster Pharmacy

Discount Drug Mart (www.discount-drugmart.com), a leading drug store chain with over 67 stores in Ohio, will be deploying the IQware MTM system at its Wooster, Ohio location as the first location in a plan to roll out to other locations. IQware's patented (US #7,322,028, others pending), centrally-managed MTM system simplifies deployment, which allows Discount Drug Mart to seamlessly implement the system and rapidly identify patients who will benefit from MTM services. When changes in Federal rules and regulations are mandated in Medication Therapy Management, Discount Drug Mart will be poised to respond quickly using IQware's MTM system, staying steps ahead of the competition. Rather than having to re-architect, re-code, re-compile, re-test, and re-debug an application, a rule within IQware's centrally-managed MTM system can be changed that will take effect almost immediately to the deployed machines. IQware breaks the vicious, costly, and error-prone software development cycle. This saves Discount Drug Mart a lot of time and money.

March 6, 2009 - IQware's MTM Connects to Life Clinic's Automated Health Monitor

Life Clinic Health Management Systems, the world's leading supplier of commercial automated blood pressure monitors, health stations and health management systems has agreed to place one of their state of the art LC600 units at the Discount Drug Mart location in Wooster, Ohio. The unit provides the capability for biometric testing including measurement of blood pressure, heart rate, weight, body composition, body mass index and blood oxygen levels. The LC600 also supports the uploading of all popular personal health management devices such as glucose, activity and respiratory meters, all crucial in supporting wellness and chronic disease programs. The placement in the Wooster location coincides with the deployment of the IQware MTM system. IQware will provide an interface to the LC600 so that this vital information can be integrated into the Medication Therapy Management process.

January 22, 2008 - US Patent #7,322,028 awarded (others pending)

On January 22, 2008 US Patent #7,322,028 (others pending) was awarded for a "Method and System for Providing a Virus-Immune, Rule-Based Cross-Platform Software System" (click here for patent download) US #7,322,028 (others pending) both teaches and protects IQware's ability to act as both a standalone application and a rule based software development platform (click here for a detailed tutorial on Rule-based Software). The patent presents IQware's architecture as the preferred embodiment to reduce - and perhaps even eliminate - the need to pay for error-prone custom code development when developing an MDM application.

IQware solves the problem of the increasing cost of designing, building and deploying complex software systems. The traditional software development method is the endless "code-compile-test-debug" loop. This method produces inflexible, non-secure and unreliable applications. It also takes a long time, is error-prone and requires legions of expensive software engineers or programmers.

IQware does things differently. As the diagram illustrates, traditional software is expensive, time consuming and error-prone. IQware, in sharp contrast, uses rules to specify the system's behavior. IQware's method is a lot faster, better, less expensive and produces a better result. To learn more, click here for a detailed tutorial on Rule-based Software.
