BlueStripe is redefining enterprise application management with the next generation of application performance management, dubbed "APM 2.0." FactFinder, BlueStripe's flagship product, combines the best features of conventional IT management tools with the types of performance tracking and reporting of deep dive APM tools.
BlueStripe was founded by a set of friends from North Carolina who met while working in the Bay Area. They vowed to build a high-tech start-up in their home state. The company's name reflects the founders' (and the state's) torn allegiances to two of the nation's top colleges, the University of North Carolina and Duke University. In fact, the company logo contains both Duke blue and Carolina blue.

Health Data Vision, Inc. provides next generation solutions for medical records collection and analysis by leveraging cutting-edge information technology, world-class process management techniques and deep healthcare domain expertise. The benefits for health plans, providers and, ultimately, to patients are truly revolutionary.
The company is not only innovative when it comes to superior efficiences, automation and process visibility. Health Data Vision fully embraces a virtualized/SaaS model, giving us the abilty to run a true enterprise-grade IT infrastructure with virtually no capital expenditures, low monthly fees while having a very scalable infrastructure. Our operating model not only revolutionizes how clinicians will handle the tens of millions of health records that need to be analyzed every year, it is also a game changer as to location. Instead of sending armies of nurses to doctors offices, they can work flexibly on their computers. Instead of copying records, violating HIPAA regulations when moving these copies to other offices, our approach scans records on site, then sends them to a central repository in real time. Not only does it save paper, time and allows subsequent processing in real time, it also provides true data security and regulatory compliance.
Health Data Vision has raised angel funds in fall of 2009, has established an operating presence, readied its product, MRCS 3.1 for the market and started business development. We are currently working on raising the next round of funding which will take the company to be self-sufficient from operating cash flow by late 2011.
