WINNIPEG, CANADA: InfoTech Inc., producer of Wellness Checkpoint®, the global leader in online interactive health risk assessments, today marked their 25th anniversary in business.
“This is a very special day for our company,” said InfoTech Founder & CEO Zorianna Hyworon. “In 1984, when I started this company and began developing the software, I had no idea how far this endeavour would take me. Twenty-five years later, we are operating in over 55 countries around the world, our product Wellness Checkpoint is available in 16 global languages, and we do it all from our office in Winnipeg.”
As the leading provider of global Health Risk Assessment software to Fortune 100, 200 and 500 companies and a growing network of partners, Wellness Checkpoint, is an online, interactive, multicultural, and multilingual health risk assessment with comprehensive reporting abilities to help users track and improve their overall health status. Wellness Checkpoint features adjustments for cultural preferences and clinical metrics in the members' country of residence. It meets international and national standards and complies with privacy, security and accessibility requirements, and regulations.
Hyworon goes on to say "Despite today’s economic uncertainty, I’m pleased to say we are so busy that I almost missed our anniversary! InfoTech’s success is proof that anything can be done if you have the will to do it and the right people working with you. Wellness Checkpoint is unique in that it clearly demonstrates to business leaders around the world the connection between a healthy workforce and the economic well-being of the company. More and more managers and executives are realizing that a company’s success, especially in leaner times, is dependent upon this relationship.”
InfoTech is currently at work on the launch of a new platform for Wellness Checkpoint, a re-launch of the corporate web site, and the configuration of two to three more languages for 2010. In 2008, the company’s success resulted in a move to 52 Donald Street, now known as the InfoTech Building, to accommodate a growing staff and infrastructure.
InfoTech’s next global event will be its 4th Annual Executive User Forum in Paris, France, in February. Many of InfoTech’s global clients such as, DuPont, CIBC, PPG Industries, Procter & Gamble and Aetna Global Benefits, participate in the Forums. These events are an opportunity for users to share their experience and demonstrate how the information and insight gained from Wellness Checkpoint supports informed business decisions in health and productivity risk management within their organizations.
