Phoenix

Phoenix is a bioinformatics company that delivers research, software solutions, licensing, marketing, sales and account management services. The job it does: building software for you when nothing off the shelf fits.

The natural audience is companies with a specific process to automate. Related areas on their profile: Bioinformatics and Database. They are a small team, 11 to 50 people, which usually shapes who they work with. Small vendors mean quick answers and real influence on the roadmap, but check who covers support when someone is out.

Phoenix is based in Newark, California. Their site is phoenixbioinformatics.org.
