It is truly remarkable and highly rewarding. I want to recognize the entire team - all 1,200 dedicated Quality Systems' employees nationwide - that contribute to the company's success each and every day. It is an honor to be part of this extraordinary organization, and to be named winner in this prestigious competition," Razin said.

It is his vision that led this company to the leadership position it holds today and the same one that will help take us to new levels as this country transitions to an all-encompassing, universal electronic health records (EHR) platform. We are proud to be acknowledged by The American Business Awards for our place in the business community."
