KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — PerfectServe, the premier provider of voice, online and mobile clinician-to-clinician communications, has named Farragut, Tenn., resident Don Den Uyl director of product development. He will assume responsibility for the design and development of the PerfectServe client platform, as well as the company’s internal management applications. PerfectServe’s intelligent communications systems eliminate the errors, delays and miscommunications that increase risks and decrease physician satisfaction. Den Uyl was previously vice president of engineering at Previstar, Inc., where he was responsible for all aspects of the systems development life cycle of a commercial off-the-shelf application (COTS) for the emergency management field used by the U.S. Navy in all continental U.S. bases. Den Uyl also managed the development, delivery and customer service of a SaaS application for emergency management planning and was the lead architect for the next generation of the product. Prior to his work at Previstar, Inc., he was the chief technology officer and application architect at Knoxville-based Diamond Systems, LLC. |
