"When patient care is on the line, EMR downtime simply is not an option," said Mike Sappington, CEO of gloStream. "We're committed to providing the highest levels of service and support and we know the only way we can do this is to provide each and every client we have with a local technology resource. The gloStream partner model is designed to ensure that clients have a local resource available to them 24 hours a day, seven days a week."

gloStream partners are afforded an opportunity to influence, sell, service and support gloEMR and practice management technology -- one of the fastest growing and largely untapped industries in the nation -- with a 100-percent partner-driven company.
