SourceMedical Reviews

Source Medical suffers from a HUGE bloated middle level management issue. The last three years, fifteen developer and QA resources have been terminated, most without cause, to save payroll and budget dollars. Most development moved off shore about a year ago and there are indications that all of it will move there by end of 2015. Management in the middle is the death of this company: There are managers of managers of managers, all fighting to protect their own slice of the pie. People who advance there are limited in number and limited to those who are able to work with this huge bloated management group on a agreeable basis, without thought or concern for their actual skills and abilities (or lack of them). Merit and Skill advancement never occurs at Source Medical. The loss of skilled development resources is severe: Their only hire for their Vision system (their key product) in the last three years has climbed his way into the middle management bloat and no one else has followed him. One person handles all Vision client side development now, and the company has major systems, including reporting, DB,Interface, Documents, and implementations that are under-staffed or simply not staffed at all. If you live in the Ukraine, then Source Medical may be an attractive possibility for a new developer. But if you live States side, you would be wise to steer clear of this company.

A couple years ago new ownership brought in new CEO to push the company to grow 40% per year versus the 10% achieved prior years. The recruited Jamie Coffin, ex Dell and IBM executive where the divisions he worked for grew very fast, and he brought on 20 something Dell employees in newly created positions. They formulated a vey good strategic plan to grow the business. However, the execution of the plan was very lacking. They got rid of many of the longer term employees in sales, product, and service who had industry knowledge and more importantly had great relationships with clients. Jamie and the team he brought in had neither and instead of augmenting the company with good existing employees with his potentially talented new team, he got rid of employees in a very unprofessional manner including several who were contacted during vacations that they were let go. Jamie's style is not that of a CEO including demeaning employees in public including using slur words. If you are a client or a prospect, think twice about whether commitments can be met by Jamie. If you are a partner, reconsider whether you want to work with people like this. If you are an employee, find a better company that values individuals and rewards good results, not managing by fear. Most importantly, if you are a company owner, you shouldn't let Jamie come close to your company or he might destroy it like he destroyed Source Medical by having the owners forced to move parts of the company under different management. Don't make your money cry!
