Portico Systems Selected by AlwaysOn as an OnDemand 100 Winner

BLUE BELL, PA, March 30, 2011 (Press-News.org) Portico Systems, the leader in Integrated Provider Management (IPM) solutions for payers, today announced that it has been chosen by AlwaysOn as one of the OnDemand Top 100 winners. Inclusion in the OnDemand 100 signifies a company's leadership amongst its peers and game-changing approaches and technologies that are likely to disrupt existing markets and entrenched players. Portico Systems was selected by the AlwaysOn editorial team and industry experts spanning the globe based on a set of five criteria: innovation, market potential, commercialization, stakeholder value, and media buzz.

Portico Systems and the OnDemand Top 100 companies will be honored at AlwaysOn's OnDemand event on March 28, 2011, at Hewlett-Packard's worldwide headquarters in Palo Alto, CA.

"As the digital information created by businesses continues to explode at astronomical rates, the need to store, manage, socialize and share this information is becoming extremely challenging," says Tony Perkins, founder and editor of AlwaysOn. "By providing innovative technologies that help enterprises better compete in this new era of information complexity and move their data out into the cloud, the OnDemand 100 represent some of the highest-growth opportunities in the private company marketplace."

The OnDemand 100 winners were selected from among hundreds of other technology companies nominated by investors, bankers, journalists and industry insiders. The AlwaysOn editorial team conducted a rigorous three-month selection process to finalize the 2011 list.

"It's great to see Portico Systems included on a list of such impressive companies," says Scott Fraser, CTO and co-founder, Portico Systems. "Our success is driven through our team's ability to produce innovative technology solutions for health plans that enable greater efficiency while lowering costs and improving their provider relationships."
