Epic Systems Corporation was (apparently) featured in an article on TheDailyWTF.com, a web site about poor programming practices: http://thedailywtf.com/Articles/A_Case_of_the_MUMPS.aspx
Notable-- everyone in Madison, WI has heard of this company. I think it has over 1000 employees. PWnsivander the Great 19:16, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
- While the notability page for companies needs some cleanup itself, perhaps the Epic article can use some outside references. Has anyone found a reputable source to confirm the awards Epic displays on its website? A lot of the links seem to be broken, and some of the pages name the hospitals involved but don't mention Epic directly. Wikky Horse 06:22, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

- I don't feel it would be appropriate for me to add content, since I work there. But suffice to say this page is accurate, and the awards listed on the web site are accurate.

- Here are some pages that may be useful for a neutral party interested in improving the page:

- http://www.forbes.com/forbes/2004/0524/120_print.html (The last paragraph of this Forbe's article is about Epic)
-
- A search for Epic + Kaiser will turn up more gossip than you likely care to wade through. Also, the TheDailyWTF.com article is factually inaccurate, assuming it was meant to be about Epic.

I can't offer any info that can be cited, but Epic systems is very well know in the medical informatics business field. I have met people around the country who know of the company. Plus, I think a company with 2,500 employees is inherently notable. JeffreyN 19:06, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
