Nationwide Search Leads Silicon Valley Firm to Vialogix

CHARLOTTE, NC – Jan. 23, 2001 – Following an extensive national search, a Silicon Valley database firm has selected Vialogix to redesign its web site.

Hearst Corporation-owned First DataBank, a comprehensive electronic drug, medical and nutrition database for the healthcare industry, recently chose Charlotte’s Vialogix from a list of 100 Web development companies to redesign its site and freshen its Internet presence.

“We were looking for a company that wasn’t too flashy, something that was a little more simple yet creative and effective in getting the First DataBank message and culture across,” said Era Goel, First DataBank product manager. “What impressed me the most with Vialogix was the company’s attentiveness. They were dedicated to making sure they got to know our company and not just our vision for the web site. They were excellent at documenting our needs.”

Based in San Bruno, Calif., First DataBank (http://www.firstdatabank.com/) supplies data to more than 40,000 pharmacies, 4,000 hospitals, all 50 state Medicaid programs, and most major national vendor and private drug benefit programs. The firm also has offices in Indianapolis, St. Louis and Exeter, England.

“I am very proud of the work we’ve done and the process we’ve developed over the last 5 years,” said Allan Bacon, head of business development for Vialogix. “Being chosen by First DataBank from a nationwide search is great validation, especially given the level of talent available in their own backyard. First DataBank must communicate complex information to very distinct audiences. By focusing site development on the needs of FDB’s customers, we’ll provide them with intuitive and effective interaction.”
