Jani Söderhäll, founder and sole owner of PC PAL, has been designing medical software since desktop computers first became available. He was recruited as the database developer for one of the first worldwide post-marketing surveillance studies to use electronic data collection, where his continuing passion for user oriented medical informatics systems, and absolute conviction that the best solutions are produced by an in-depth collaboration between sponsors and developers, began.
Not surprisingly, he searches out candidate employees who accept nothing less than excellence and have a top-drawer area of expertise to contribute to the team. The majority of the staff is split between the Paris and Stockholm offices with field based personnel in North America, Australia and England. The thirty strong team is comprised not only of computer engineering specialists, but natural science graduates, educators and teachers, engineers, medical device specialists, documentation experts and layout designers many of whom qualified with higher degrees before discovering their talent for, and fascination with software development. This eclectic collection of backgrounds contributes a diverse set of knowledge bases and problem solving styles, which are a major strength of PC PAL. An indication of the teams origins is that we have native speakers of French, Swedish, German, Romanian, Polish, Portuguese, Chinese, and of course English. The list is extended by second languages of Spanish, Italian and Russian so there’s a good chance we can share a common tongue in discussions with clients.
