Conifers have a reputation as a fast-growing tree. Keep that in mind while watching White Pine Systems grow in Ann Arbor this year.

The 4-year-old firm is a provider of online medical records and spent most of last year securing new client business. It has continued to grow its relationship with its initial client and secured a health information exchange in Washington that covers five hospitals and 217,000 people. The company ensures that doctors get the most information about a patient's medical history so they can maximize the effectiveness of treatment and avoid misdiagnosis.

"We think we are in an ideal position," says Doug Dormer, president of White Pine Systems. "What we picked up in the last year is strong. We will easily double in size in the next year."

Dormer sees White Pine Systems growing from 10 employees and the occasional independent contractor to a staff of 20 and a handful of 1099 workers in the next year.
