Our Impressions

iPlum contacted us to provide our members with a review of their product. We were immediately impressed with their company culture. iPlum seeks to educate their users on how to best use their product in a HIPAA secure way. We extended software consultation services to iPlum in response to a few tweaks we saw needed fixing before giving iPlum the green light. iPlum not only made all the proper changes to their software they added specific language for their users who work in health care explaining HIPAA security and compliance and did all of this in an extremely timely manner. This company definitely makes us feel warm and fuzzy!
