Management Team

DSI’s management team has been with the company since its inception as RentBureau.  DSI uses technology developed for RentBureau’s apartment industry user community. Many of the same problems we solved in the apartment industry are available to be solved in government, telecom, financial servcies and healthcare;

• There are large numbers of consumers excluded from the popular industry data sets creating unequal treatment for otherwise equal consumers.
  1. In the apartment industry, that meant that an apartment renter paying $1,500 / month for rent did not receive the same credit ranking as an equivalent consumer paying $1,500 / month for their mortgage.    Our team built the technology, formed the industry relationships and operated the RentBureau consumer reporting agency.  We sold the RentBureau division to Experian in June, 2010.  Experian put RentBureau data into their credit reports in December, 2010.
  2. In the financial markets that means that a consumer’s non-traditional credit such as pay-day or short term loans or transactions on stored value Visa cards do not enhance the credit ranking of this consumer.
  3. In healthcare, the limited or non-existent connectivity between clinical systems, including Electronic Medical Records, patient enrollment, laboratory information management, human resources, diagnostic support systems and device management has limited the availability of faster insurance claims settlement, fraud and error detection and holistic clinical decision support implementation.
• Major systems within the industry are not connected, creating gaps in timing and information that increase the operating costs for service providers and the end price for consumers.
  1. This lack of connectivity prevents efficient and complete exchange of patient data in critical medical emergency situations.
  2. Financial consumers that operate outside banking and credit bureaus are unable to build a credit history in spite of the data being stored in mobile carrier systems, debit card payment networks, term lender and similar non-traditional lender platforms.

Our team has over 25 years of experience connecting previously isolated systems and putting the merged data into a scalable and high availability production systems.
