Company founded as 'Designed Access'

First commercial software product
In 1990, we set out to unlock health data to improve medical research and healthcare worldwide. We recognized the difficulties and time wasted accessing healthcare information and data stored through many different systems and formats and began exploring possible solutions.
In 1993, we established DesAcc to develop health data software that could solve these issues. In the following five years, we created, tested, and launched our first-ever product, Digital Jacket, with over 3,000 copies sold as of 2024.
We continued expanding our products and services over the years to assist healthcare organizations in unlocking, transforming, and migrating their data.
