Imonics West

Imonics got started as a consulting group , in Cary, NC. Several of the people who had worked for me in Sun's development center at the Research Triangle had subsequently moved to Imonics. It was through them that I made the connection with Imonics.

The company had some business developing in the Bay Area and no one to manage it. So I signed up and became responsible for the west coast side of the business. The main project we had was to develop a pharmaceutical information system, to model and track the purchases and use of drugs throughout a healthcare institution; our client was one of the top three pharmaceutical distributors in the US.

That project definitely was buzzword compliant: three-tier, CORBA-based, thin clients, RDBMS, model-driven, 100% pure object design (can't get any more pure than SmallTalk, right?).

Imonics was a Medaphis (NASDAQ:MEDA) company. Eventually, Medaphis merged all their systems integration businesses (Imonics, RSSI, and BSG) into one. At about that time, I moved to Atwork.
