VantageLinks History

In June of 2006 VantageLinks, LLC was formed as a division of VantageView to deliver our strengths of management consulting and information technology (IT) by providing IT solutions. VantageLinks IT software development and staffing solutions brings to our clients our unique breadth of knowledge and experience. To that end we offer VantageLinks, LLC as your strategic partner to help you attain economies of scale for your IT department and produce exceptional results for your organization leading to improved ROI. VantageLinks, LLC is certified by the State of Missouri as a women owned company.

VantageView was formed in 2000. VantageView was created to address the sales and marketing needs of medical device and drug manufacturers. To achieve our clients’ strategic objectives we aided sales of new medical products through training sales personnel on “consultative selling” and by providing strategic marketing plans that help the healthcare provider efficiently implement innovative medical solutions. The service offering is diverse. Our name, VantageView, reveals our mission: “…Partnering with VantageView helps you achieve your best market “Advantage” The slogan on our web site, www.VantageView.com states, “Your Goals, Our Services, Your Advantage.

VantageLinks, LLC key management team has over 20 year history of providing software solutions to many major St. Louis companies and their offices nationwide. VantageLinks has the management skills and technical expertise to take on outsourced projects providing our customers with project management, systems analysis and process improvement leading to the design and production of software that meets or exceed your business needs. VantageLinks operates as one of the service line companies under VantageView.

VantageLinks offers consulting services across the spectrum of software development, staffing, and process improvement to help you realize the efficiency of a well integrated IT team. VantageLinks provides services across the business sectors of banking, finance, manufacturing, and service orientated businesses such as healthcare, advertising and construction. We anticipate national and world wide growth by leveraging our combined networks and experience gained from process improvement and value- enhancing projects we have successfully implemented for our clients.

VantageView and the Institute for Quality Resource Management (IQRM). The IQRM was launched in 1997 upon branching out from the position held by Leah Amir, MS, MHA, as the Healthcare Economist for Mallinckrodt Medical, Inc. (now Covidian). The services provided by IQRM include process improvement for healthcare institutions and medical manufacturers. IQRM designs and conducts clinical trials to obtain the clinical and economic data necessary for new medical products to achieve approval for marketing from the Food and Drug Administration as well as reimbursement from Medicare and the major insurers. Since 2005 IQRM is actively engaged in identifying and licensing effective new technologies to accelerate their commercialization and is an advisor to Med Tech Transfer a Boston based group.

By leveraging our expertise and networks we have achieved horizontal integration to fully advance our IT staffing book of business. Process improvement projects and the clinical trial process both require IT solutions. IT solutions are a mainstay of the total package of client services provided by IQRM to aid clinical trial management. Process improvement solutions and data capture from clinical trials both require unique software to automate data collection and analysis, or to improve processes within the healthcare institution enabling better cost capture resulting in improved reimbursement. Now we are able to provide staff to achieve all of these goals.
