Milwaukee company acquires Oregon software firm
Published January 16, 2007 - BizTimes Daily
Milwaukee-based Virtual Care Provider Inc. (VCPI), a total solutions provider for the long-term care industry, announced it has acquired IT Powered, a Portland, Ore.-based consulting and custom software development company focused on serving assisted living communities.
I.T. Powered has contracts with more than 20 organizations, primarily focused on the assisted living sector of the senior housing industry. IT Powered will operate as a division of VCPI. IT Powered's principal, Steve Arndt, will continue to manage the operations of I.T. Powered.
"The purchase of IT Powered is a perfect match for our organization. VCPI has been focusing its efforts on growing our long term care business across the country and the acquisition of IT Powered will assist us in our efforts to expand more heavily into the assisted living market," said Loren Claypool, VCPI vice president and managing Director.
VCPI was founded in 2000 as a separate, wholly-owned subsidiary by Extendicare Inc., one of the largest operators of long-term care facilities in the United States and Canada.
