Auxilio, Inc. (AUXO)

 

Auxilio, Inc. (NYST MKT: AUXO) is one of a select number of businesses headquartered in Mission Viejo, a mainly residential city in Orange County, California, and a closer look at this small yet booming business shows that it is unique not only for where its offices are based, but also for its value proposition.

 

Auxilio offers managed print services exclusively to the U.S. health care industry. A leader in this sector due to its innovative and customer-driven approach, Auxilio takes full responsibility for its health care clients' on-site print environment through situation assessment, process analysis, strategy development and program implementation. The company also works closely with hospitals and hospital systems to deliver quality patient care and accomplishes this objective by providing a customized, scalable document solutions strategy that analyzes, remediates and manages document and print workflows from start to finish.

 

A vendor-independent company, Auxilio provides intelligent solutions, a risk-free program and guaranteed savings. It assumes all costs related to the print business environment by customizing, streamlining and seamlessly integrating its services at predictable fixed rates that are unmatched in the industry. As a result, its print management programs drive out costs, increase employee productivity and exceed patient care standards, and the hospitals and health systems that work with the company benefit from its streamlined and aligned processes and infrastructure.

 

For over 10 years, more than 200 of the leading hospitals and health systems in the U.S. have turned to Auxilio to resolve their broken document and digital workflow processes, and its document solutions have helped them reduce waste, safeguard protected health information (PHI) and improve operational efficiency while driving incredible cost savings. The company consistently delivers for its clients by leveraging its three core services lines: Managed Print Services, Document Consulting and iPLATFORM, an intelligent workflow automation suite.

 

According to the Orange County Business Journal's 2016 Special Report (http://dtn.fm/C0x5k), from 2014 to 2016, Auxilio clocked more than 40% in growth, making it one of the fastest-growing public companies in the Orange County area. During this time, the company grew its existing business by continuously delivering excellent customer service, and it diversified into cyber security by acquiring two information technology security firms. The resulting demand for Auxilio's cyber security services and rapid adoption of its Managed Print Services program by many large health care institutions contributed significantly to its recent swift growth.
