The Core of Who We Are
In early 2020, RedSail Technologies emerged as the new parent company of QS/1, Integra, PowerLine, and PUBLIQ Software during a tumultuous time in U.S. history. Our commitment to our customers and the vital roles they play in their communities transcended these environmental forces and inspired us to push forward with confidence, and be present to serve, so our customers could serve their patients and customers without disruption.

Though most of the organization transitioned to working remotely and complied with social distancing, we shifted our course and leaned in to ensure our service to customers remained steady, while safeguarding the health and well-being of our employees.
For us, this wasn’t about choice. It’s what we do and have done for more than 40 years — serving and deeply caring for our employees, our customers, and the communities that they support. We recognize that our customers are foundational to their communities, and we are resolute in making sure they operate smoothly and effectively.

At RedSail Technologies, we strive to optimize the wind in our sails by being boundlessly curious, relentlessly focused, and exceedingly courageous. We endeavor to redefine the constellation of markets in which we compete – community, institutional, and governmental – and chart a new course to unlock our full potential.
