On Epic

Wisconsin State Journal:

The company has 5,225 employees and will likely add 1,000 this year.
Between 33 percent and 44 percent of the U.S. population is served by hospitals and clinics using Epic's software systems, which track about 100,000 data elements involved in health care.
The company started with an $80,000 loan "to buy our first computer," Dickmann said. Since then, Epic has turned a profit every year but one and expects to show 2011 revenues of $1.2 billion.
Fifty-five percent of the employees install the software systems or handle technical support. "We have 600 to 700 people breaking for the airport on Monday afternoon," Dickmann said. Epic has only five sales people.
