History
Founder John Olajide had worked as a health care technology consultant during his time at the University of Texas at Dallas. In 2002 during a visit to a home healthcare agency where his aunt worked, Olajide helped set up a network and policies for information sharing. This experience led him to create Axxess as a home healthcare consulting firm in 2007. The company remained exclusively a consulting firm until 2011 when they started offering software designed to facilitate administrative functions for home healthcare organizations.
By the end of 2011, Axxess' software was considered the best home healthcare software according to a survey of home healthcare organizations. They also became the fastest growing home health software company in the industry earning triple-digit growth within the first two years. Internally, the company grew from 15 to 80 employees within the first year of the software's release.
