For Immediate Release
SMART DATA SOLUTIONS CELEBRATES THEIR 20 YEAR ANNIVERSARY
June 22, 2020 – Eagan, Minnesota – Smart Data Solutions, a MN based collateral-processing and workflow automation service, celebrates 20 years in business this month. Over two decades ago Co-CEOs and business partners, Pat Bollom and John Prange, started Smart Data Solutions to provide customized solutions to multiple entities across the healthcare space. The business has since evolved to offer paper processing, clearinghouse services, enrollment processing, and technology services.
Since Smart Data Solutions’ inception, they have grown their customer base significantly to now serve over 400 healthcare payers, providers, and networks across the United States. Throughout the years, operations have expanded to multiple locations including their corporate office and mail processing centers in Eagan, MN and BPO facility in Superior, WI. Smart Data Solutions also has a software development facility in Katmandu, Nepal and various BPO facilities within 5 countries.
Even as operations have grown significantly over the years, Smart Data Solutions has always stayed true to health insurance carriers, TPAs, HMOs, PPOs, IPAs, Medicare, Medicaid, ACOs, and anyone else that needs to move or process a medical transaction, claim, record, receipt, enrollment, or other collateral. Through the use of automation and machine learning the product suite has grown in complexity, allowing for more customized workflows.
When asked about Smart Data Solutions turning 20 years old, Pat Bollom, Co-CEO of Smart Data Solutions said, “I am ecstatic and shocked since it doesn’t seem that long ago. There have been a lot of ups and downs – but we have had a great time, the stories we have are awesome and we have so many people to thank.” He continued, “I’ve learned patience in the last 20 years. Patience and understanding (as cliché as it sounds) is really key to a successful partnership with both customers and vendors.”
John Prange, Co-CEO of Smart Data Solutions mentioned what he envisions for the future of Smart Data, stating, “We’ve always been entrepreneurial, and I see that continuing into our future. This includes expanding our footprint in the clearinghouse space as well as leveraging our AI infrastructure to automate higher level workflows.” John continued, “Everything we’ve accomplished has been the result of a team effort. It begins with Pat and his sales team; they have always done an incredible job demonstrating value. In addition, our technical team has continued to innovate to ensure we provide our customers with higher quality automation at a lower cost.”
Smart Data Solutions was looking forward to celebrating 20 years in business with their customers at their 2020 Customer Symposium, which has since been postponed due to the ongoing Coronavirus pandemic. The Smart Data team looks forward to celebrating this milestone in other ways, until it is safe to host a larger celebratory event with customers and prospects alike.
