Foresight Marks 15 years of E-Commerce
Innovation
Columbus, OH, April 21, 2005
–Foresight Corporation marked its 15th year in business today.
The company was founded in April 1990 by CEO Robert Fisher to help
companies improve electronic commerce through the use of innovative
technology.
Originally focused on increasing electronic data
interchange (EDI) productivity, Foresight premiered its first product
EDISIM® in January 1991. Today, with thousands of users world-wide,
EDISIM is still finding new uses, including its application as the
business rules engine for Foresight’s Transaction Insight®
business intelligence solution.
In 2001, the Company turned its attention to the
health care industry. “We saw an opportunity to help payers
and providers make sure their claims transactions meet HIPAA standards,”
Fisher said. “From there, we were asked to address other issues
common to all transaction processing. That is what led to the delivery
of Transaction Insight as the first application of business intelligence
techniques for managing health care transaction processing systems.
Today, more than half of the nation’s Blue
Cross Blue Shield health care organizations rely on Foresight to
help them build networks compliant with government, industry, and
organization standards, connect partners, validate transactions,
and filter them for fast and easy repair of transactions in error.
Fifteen years later, with thousands of customers
in over a dozen industries, Foresight is still known as a true innovator
that has never produced a me-too product, Fisher said. “We
are proud of our track record and excited by what is coming. We
can now deliver real time actionable information that allows organizations
to optimize their operations while minimizing errors and the need
for human intervention. This may be the most exciting time yet.”
