In retrospect, the better choices are oh so apparent. I guess that's why Henry Ford said that "experience is the thing of supreme value". Well, I guess that's true if you the opportunity to use it. Dexter recognized that the separation from his old company could be a blessing or a curse....depending upon which direction he choose to walk. Dexter, being a man of great faith, knew that "in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose" (Romans 8:28). Now, Dexter doesn't think himself to be a saint, but he does know who is large and in charge. Therefore, he knew the pain would be transformed by humility to good purpose. He began the rebuilding process knowing that Labwire was going to be much better than it's predecessor.....no doubt. So, the first order of business was to consider exactly what markets Labwire would target. You see, DISA's main focus was almost exclusively on the Drug Testing Market. The Employee Screening market was not really penetrated by DISA. Why? Because of the legacy software being used by the TPA's. Legacy software in any industry is the software that is written as the industry is first conceived. It's always overly complex, slow, and redundant. You can see why. It's patched together as needed along the timeline. But with Labwire, not so. Labwire's platform is proprietary software (this is the correct term...not patented) that WAS WRITTEN for the express purpose to be simple, fast, and concise. All the needs of the client are on the main platform, and just one click away. That's why the door for the Employee Background Screening market has just been flung wide open. The service is right on the platform, and one click away. Why wouldn't a client use it? It beats the heck out of closing one platform and then opening another. Using one service also simplifies billing....but more on that topic later. Alright, here's the point we need to do two things. First, we need to put DISA Inc. in the past. Dexter recently pointed out to me that he holds no ill will towards DISA, and quite frankly, they aren't even considered the major competition anymore. Why? Because when Dexter envisioned Labwire, he didn't want to build another DISA, he wanted something much better. Also, since Dexter choose to go public with the company, then that's another big difference....DISA is private. So then, what does out competition more closely resemble? To be continued...
