Harriett Flowers brings hard-earned operations experience to the evaluation of business opportunities.  As the founder and former CEO of Dallas-based Innovative Managed Care Systems, Inc. (IMaCS), now a subsidiary of MedAssets (Nasdaq:  “MDAS”) she maintained consistent profitability and growth through all phases of a successful startup company:   from organic growth as a sole proprietor consultant, to Angel funding, to private equity recapitalization, to strategic sale to a public company. 

At IMaCS, Harriett developed an in-depth understanding of the Healthcare Revenue Cycle industry.  IMaCS leveraged advances in Internet technology, bringing to market the first true web-based, Software-As-A-Service products for Healthcare Revenue Cycle:

  • Managed Care Revenue Modeling
  • Commercial and Government Programs A/R Accounting
  • Point-of-Service Patient Cost Estimation
  • PPO Claims Administration

More recently, as principal of Enumerist, LLC, Harriett has focused on business models around Web 2.0 technologies.  As The Enumerist, she has advised early-stage startups that utilize Natural Language Processing and Social Networking in novel ways to achieve viable business services delivery.

Much of Harriett’s architectural insight was gained early at UCC (University Computing Company, later acquired by Computer Associates), a company that pioneered selling computer software as a product.  At UCC, she was a key contributor to the design of a “software factory” called the Leading Edge Applications Project (LEAP). 

She has held senior positions at Hadson Corporation (oil and gas), Price Waterhouse (tax accounting), and at Hogan Systems (integrated banking software).  Throughout her career, Harriett has demonstrated a track record of recognizing and creating profitable business models around Information Technology.  Harriett architected and managed (and in the early years wrote the code for!) imaginative, successful software solutions for a variety of industries:

  • Academic Registration and Transcript Reporting
  • Data Center Reports Distribution and Tracking
  • Business Bankruptcy Payment Distribution and Debtor Management
  • Propane Gas Market Deal Analysis and Transaction Accounting
  • Retail Bank Sales Tools
  • Master Limited Partnership Transaction Tax Reporting

Harriett received a Bachelor of Science, Cum Laude, in Mathematics from the University of Texas at Dallas.
