Happy Jack Software

After successfully creating and selling companies in Austin, Texas, Mona Gamboa and her family relocated to Laramie so her husband could begin teaching computer science at the University of Wyoming (UW). It didn't take this serial entrepreneur long to get back to the business of starting and growing companies. Following the completion of her Master of Science in e.Business at the University of Wyoming, Mona launched Happy Jack Software in 2004 to further develop Kalendi™, a web-based calendar platform.

By 2006, Happy Jack relocated its operations to the Wyoming Technology Business Center (WTBC), the University's technical business incubator. The company soon started to experience strong growth. Mona was approached by a pharmaceutical company to partner in the development and sales of an Electronic Medication Administration Record (eMAR) for long-term care facilities. Happy Jack responded by creating MedRight™and CareRight™ for pharmacies, long-term care, assisted living and home health care providers.

CareRight™ provides the best possible documentation and observation system for long-term care facilities by increasing accuracy, encouraging compliance, reducing risk and saving money. MedRight™ ensures patient safety and reduces medication errors. It differentiates itself from other eMAR systems with its easy to use functionality and its transparent state-of-the-art technology. These two products are currently being used by Laramie Care Center and seven other long-term facilities across Wyoming.

With a renewed focus on sales and developing partnerships, Happy Jack is gearing up for a national release of its medical product suite. Mona suggested, "We are on the bleeding edge of online technologies and we believe next year is going to be a big, big year for Happy Jack."

Part of Happy Jack's success is due to the high quality of its employees. Mona has grown Happy Jack from two employees in 2004 to 22 employees in 2010, without ever having to layoff anyone. "Coming from Austin, Texas, (a technology Mecca)," Mona stated, "I worked with some of the best tech people in the country. The kids here who graduate from UW have just as much talent, are just as good, and are much more well-rounded. They are the best I've worked with." Of the 22 employees at Happy Jack, ten come from UW's Computer Science Department, two from Mechanical Engineering, and four have a PhD.

Over the past 6 years, Mona has seen some very positive changes within Laramie's entrepreneurial community. "There has been a big change since Jon Benson and the WTBC really got started," explained Mona. "The WTBC has been very helpful. The level of networking has increased and there seems to be a much stronger focus on high-technology and entrepreneurs in the community."

In addition to its medical product suite, Happy Jack performs custom web design, graphic design, programming and custom coding. To find out more about Happy Jack and its products or to get assistance with any of your online technologies needs, visit www.happyjacksoftware.com.
