Mike McGuire - Vice President Sales

Mike has over 30 years of experience in building and managing, both large and small Healthcare Software and Solutions organizations. Since 1999, Mike has led three companies to a successful financial transaction that maximized shareholder value. In the case of Healthcare.com (aka Healthvision), he was able to turnaround a company generating $28 million in revenue, losing money and had it’s secondary offering cancelled to a company sold 28 months later for over $100 million. Mike repurposed the company around its core competency, Healthcare and the Cloverleaf Integration Engine, and cut any expense not related to its mission. He created a sales, services and product organization that took the company from losing money to making its numbers for 11 consecutive quarters. The Cloverleaf Integration Engine is installed in over 1200 hospitals throughout the world. The transaction closed August 13, 2001 with the assistance of FAC Equities a division of First Albany Corporation.

After selling Healthcare.com, Mike embarked on taking a lifestyle Healthcare Electronic Health Record company generating a $1 million in revenue, Vertisoft, to its next level. Vertisoft was owned by the Tandy TRS-80 inventor Don French a serial entrepreneur. Mike created the business plan, the product roadmap, and the presentations that were used to attract over $1 million dollars of Angel Funding as well as a teaser document sent to over 200 Venture Firms. The company released its Private Placement Memorandum with Sterling Financial in May of 2003. In August of the same year the Board of Vertisoft made the decision to seek a strategic buyer for the company. Through relationships Mike has in the healthcare industry, Optio Software was approached and ultimately completed the transaction. In June 2006 Mike joined Optio at the request of the Chairman and one other Board member. At Mike’s insistence the Board added two additional Board members who had extensive healthcare knowledge and contacts. The initial strategy was to sell the ERP Division and use the proceeds to build the Healthcare Division. That strategy changed as the ERP Division financial position continued to deteriorate and drag the rest of the company’s results with it. The Board authorized management to pursue buyers for both Divisions. In the meantime, Mike was able to triple the sales volume in the Electronic Health Record line of business in less than 9 months. The ultimate buyer of Optio, Bottomline Technologies, looked at the Healthcare Division initially before deciding on buying the whole company.

Mike has held sales, marketing and operational management positions with McDonnell Douglas Automation, HBOC (McKesson/HBOC), Affiliated Computer Services, and Eclipsys Corporation. In 1983 Mike was named Sales Manager of the Year at McDonnell Douglas with an unbelievable 610% team performance over quota. That sales team had both the Rookie of the Year, at 550% of his number and The Sales Rep of the year who performed at 650% of his number. While not all of Mike’s sales teams performed at that level, he seeks to achieve growth levels that others might shy away from.

At HBOC, Mike quickly went from Regional Sales Manager to Vice President of Sales for the Mainframe Division. During his tenure in this position he created an organization that doubled its customer base in three years. During this period Mike created the “Certified Partner Program” for all systems integrators as well as the “Alliance Partner Program” for those companies wishing to resell technology. Mike was then asked to not only build the Outsourcing Business Unit but to also to roll out the Total Quality Management Program he initiated while he was VP of Sales in the Mainframe Division. The TQI program was designed with the help of Larry Miller the author of the best selling book “From Barbarians to Bureaucrats”. The Program not only trained and educated 1800 employees in less than 16 months but was the foundation of the rebuilding effort launched in the early 90’s. HBOC’s execution and subsequent growth led to its stock splitting an amazing 6 times over 5 years.

Mike was then appointed President and CEO of ACS Healthcare Services in 1995. The company was formed by the acquisition of Montgomery Ryland, LLC. The business was hospital information outsourcing and consulting services. By utilizing the data center capabilities of ACS, Mike quickly was able to convert traditional facilities management relationships to a mix of centralized application, network, hardware support, and on site management. He also established Superior Consulting as a “Certified Partner” which ultimately led to its subsequent purchase by ACS.

Mike’s Eclipsys experience was as President of the Services Division. He was chartered with the task of consolidating the outsourcing business, hardware business, and data centers of three merging companies as well as to start a network design, development and deployment business. The division grew over 30% year over year by expanding the hardware, network and consulting business lines. His division started the “Certified Partner Program” with IBM Consulting and created “Alliance Partners” with Cisco, Citrix, HP and others which are still in place today.

Mike has a BS degree from the University of Tennessee with a major in Marketing and minors in Finance and Psychology. He is also a certified trainer of Strategic Selling and Total Quality Management.
