Dagran

What Dagran does

Dagran (legal name Dagran Information Integration) is a privately held healthcare information technology consulting and software firm founded in January 1998 by Sherri L. Yandell and headquartered in Tucson, Arizona. The company serves two primary customer segments: hospitals and healthcare systems that need to integrate disparate clinical applications, and healthcare IT software vendors that embed an integration engine inside their products. Its core technology is the InfiniLinks suite, a proprietary healthcare-focused interface engine that provides Enterprise Application Integration (EAI) capabilities for linking disparate healthcare applications in real time. InfiniLinks includes proprietary Communications Definition Language (CDL) and Text Manipulation Language (TML) scripting engines that natively parse and translate HL7, X12 (EDI), ASTM, XML, and custom message formats across TCP/IP, serial, and ODBC communications protocols and multiple operating systems (Windows, Linux, HP-UX, AIX). Complementary products include the InfiniLinks Interface Development Kit (IDK) for script development and debugging, and the InfiniLinks Software Development Kit (SDK) for building C++ client applications against the InfiniLinks server environment.

Dagran's business model combines software licensing of the InfiniLinks suite (sold on multi-year enterprise contracts with quote-based pricing) with professional services revenue from integration and interfacing consulting, clinical solutions implementation, project management, data conversion, and staff augmentation. Go-to-market is sales-led and direct to healthcare providers, supplemented by an OEM/embedded distribution channel in which InfiniLinks is licensed to healthcare software vendors (including Opus Healthcare Solutions and Chart Links LLC) for incorporation into their clinical applications. The company also delivers integration services on behalf of major healthcare IT platforms including Allscripts, Sunquest Information Systems, Cerner Millennium deployments, and Perot Systems-led rollouts.

Since founding, Dagran has completed more than 500 projects for over 75 clients, with InfiniLinks reaching 40 installations by October 2005. The firm remains founder-owned and bootstrapped, with no disclosed venture capital, private equity, or institutional investment, and no acquisitions, subsidiaries, or public listing. Operational evidence in the input data terminates in 2005; the company website remains accessible but no post-2005 financial, hiring, or product milestones are documented.
