This one line sums up all the issues of the Enterprise and Health care information technology and everything that is broken about it.

Startupreneurs who are looking to white-label to enterprise, STOP. dont waste your time.

I'm developing software for a health organization in Canada, and you should see the reactions I get from users when they realize that I listened to their concerns and tailored the software to them. I feel like Santa at Christmas.

And the person writing the software never uses it either. The definitive recipe for shitty enterprise apps the world over.
