Ontario Systems Recognizes Revenue Cycle and Receivables Leaders with Annual Pinnacle and Hall of Fame Awards

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. – Ontario Systems, a leading software provider to the healthcare revenue cycle management (RCM), accounts receivable management (ARM) and government (GOV) markets, presented Arnie Harris and David Harris – CEO, and COO & Executive Vice President, respectively, for Harris & Harris Ltd. – with its third annual Pinnacle Award. The two receivables leaders were on-hand at PowerUp 2017, the Ontario Systems annual user conference, to receive the honor during the event’s opening session on October 17. The award is presented to individuals who have made outstanding and significant achievements in innovation, technology and leadership over the course of their careers.

“We are deeply appreciative of the opportunity to work with Harris & Harris as they have helped guide our development and keep us on the cutting edge of compliance and security,” says Ontario Systems CEO Ron Fauquher. “Their organization has truly created a connection with consumers by practicing empathy, which sets this organization apart at its core.”

Harris & Harris was started in 1968 out of its founder Samuel J Harris’s basement on Chicago’s South Side. The firm’s commitment to compassionate, respectful collections through the years has grown Harris & Harris from a one-man shop to more than 450 employees. Today, Arnie serves on the board of Cook County Health Foundation and both himself and Dave maintain an active volunteer and philanthropic life in addition to their charitable work.

“I’m honored to be recognized for our innovation, technology, and leadership in the collections industry. Our father founded the company on the 10 Harris Habits, which we still practice today. From our experience, I offer three words of advice to you as you lead your organization: collaborate, communicate, and congratulate with both your clients and colleagues. If you practice those three attributes, you will succeed with integrity.”

Ontario Systems also honored RCM, ARM, and GOV leaders in creativity, operational excellence and innovation with its annual Hall of Fame Awards. Selected from a pool of nominees by the organization’s Executive Leadership Team, this year’s honorees included:
