Menlo Park Software

Solving big information problems with the Internet

Menlo Park Software was created by its parent company, Menlo Park Associates, to solve big problems in a big way using the Internet, software and other technologies of today.
Your humble founder has been a medical device company project manager. An FDA Recall Epidemic was discovered by the Medical Device and Diagnostic Institute (MD+DI) magazine. He found the real solution to be a method of risk management and software.
While doing further research with FDA data he also found a Compliance Crisis. So now the software can play an even larger role in a larger problem.
But, that will not be the end of it. There will always be big problems to be solved with technology. The company will find them, market test solutions and then build them. That is its charge.

Richard Bollinger, Founder and CEO

He wanted to retire semi-early as a management consultant. Recent events in the medical device industry have kept him out of retirement and caused him to take a new trajectory.
As an IT project manager, He worked for pharmaceutical and medical device companies. Also in the automotive, aerospace, DOD, and other industries. For a number of years he supervised all American Red Cross First Responder volunteers delivering first aid and emergency care at University of Michigan football games. So he knows how to put together a competent program and guide it to success.
While working and traveling, the Owner found time to write a business plan (Winning $1,000 in 2012 for my New Business Idea in the Phase I GLEQ [MiQuest] Business Plan Competition, Third Place).
Recent events have made it clear that new and urgent problems are at hand for the medical device industry. Now this startup could really use your help. The problems need to be characterized in a way that can suggest exact solutions. That means many voices need to be heard.
