As the co-founders and owners of BHMI, we hope you don't mind if we brag a little about our talented team and loyal customers. The demand for our services has been consistently growing each year that we are in business. We believe this is because we have built a solid reputation across the country for successfully designing, developing and implementing primary software solutions.

Sometimes we reminisce about how our company has evolved to meet the needs of our customers. When we founded the company in 1986, we primarily focused on the development of software for large, high performance transaction processing systems. Through the early 90's, most of the software we developed was targeted toward the Tandem (now HP NonStop) fault-tolerant computer platforms. This association was natural since Tandem systems were specifically engineered for this type of environment.

As we have grown and built long-term, strategic relationships with our customers, we have watched our customers' technology environments become increasingly complex. For example, most of our customers require applications for multiple and disparate platforms. As a result, we have evolved our development environment so that we can design and implement applications that support multiple, disparate computer systems – in many cases, the same software has to run on different types of platforms. This includes not only NonStop, but also Wintel and UNIX platforms.

Most people are impressed with our solid reputation and technical capabilities, but they often ask us what really makes BHMI different than other software solutions providers. At the very beginning, we decided to invest heavily in our centralized Corporate Development Center. We have all the equipment and technologies necessary to complete mainline software development within this facility. Furthermore, our entire development staff is centrally located at this center, and they work together as an integrated team. This strategy has allowed BHMI to complete projects quickly, reliably and trouble-free.

We are very proud of the software solutions BHMI has built for our customers and the reputation we have made in the marketplace. We are looking forward to continued success because we plan to remain focused on the needs of our clients or the quality of our work.
