 Sweet, an Ortivus Company, is the industry leader in computer software for the Emergency Medical Services profession. Sweet was founded in 1978 by David A. Sweet, a firefighter and EMT-I Ñ then living in West Union, Iowa Ñ with computer programming experience. On January 1, 2001, Sweet Computer Services, Inc. was acquired by Ortivus, a Swedish-based company specializing in medical informatics. David Sweet still remains active in the organization, serving as the Executive Vice President.
Sweet not only pioneered the EMS software industry, but has remained the uncontested leader as well, serving more than twice as many customers as the nearest competitor. Sweet products serve more than 1,800 customers in all 50 states, Puerto Rico and Kenya. Customers range in size from small, volunteer services to major metropolitan emergency medical services, including volunteer, fire, hospital and private organizations. Sweet's software products are flexible enough to meet the diverse needs of ground and air ambulances, fire/rescue units, hospital-based services and government and private services.
Sweet currently has 57 full-time and 7 part-time employees living in area towns, such as Decorah, Calmar, West Union, Ossian, Cresco, Maynard and Waukon.
