The annual Borland Conference, held this year in San Jose, Calif., September 11-15, brought together software industry leaders to discuss the latest technology and tools for accelerating application lifecycles. Awards were made in the Customer Application, Partner Solution and Technology Partners categories, based on the success of the products that integrated Borland software in the development process.

“We are very honored to receive this prestigious award from Borland based on the success of BillChek®, as executed on the Q-worx™ platform, and based on Qmedtrix employees’ commitment to excellence,” said Merrit Quarum, CEO and chairman of the board for Qmedtrix.

“BillChek is an innovative bill review application that has become the nationwide total out-of-network solution for medical bills,” said Quarum. “Borland’s Delphi was employed in the development of the suite of software products comprising BillChek’s multi-tiered architecture.”

Qmedtrix’s development team—which includes product development, systems development and quality assurance experts—continuously researches, codes and tests to improve the unique rules engine and proprietary database that support its services and systems.

Awards in the Customer Application category were determined based on the success of implementation, benefits provided by the company’s products, return on investment (ROI) and potential for future growth. In 2003, the ROI for Qmedtrix’s customers was $270 million in savings identified after validation and correction of medical bills.

“This award is a reflection of the Product Development Team’s hard work, excellent results and team effort,” said John Pierce, assistant vice president, Information Systems. “Success is a result of clearly defined specifications, precise development, rigorous quality assurance and a commitment to customer service.”

Log.Sec Corporation and Hewlett-Packard Company IPG-IT Factory Systems also received Customer Application of the Year Awards. Dunn Solutions Group received the Partner Solution of the Year award. Technology Partners of the Years awards were presented to Automated QA Corporation, Business Objects, Segue Software and Woll2Woll Software. Tom Margrave, Orasi Software, Inc., was named Trainer of the Year and the President’s Award went to Allen Bauer, Developer Tools Business Unit, Borland.
