Our Story
We worked for many years trying to help customers build solutions for their data collection and management needs. We could always see the vision, but that usually meant trying to fit a square peg into a round hole… we would have to patch together custom code on top of existing solutions, and to us that was never right.
So we decided in 2014 that enough was enough, and set out on a journey to build a platform that would work like we had wanted all those other solutions to work. We wanted elegance and simplicity, nothing overengineered or full of bells and whistles that no one would ever use. We wanted ease of use and a quick ramp up for all levels of technologists.
Out of this vision was born our data management platform, and the highly praised solutions that live within it. Our customers are thrilled and asking for more, and we can’t wait to see what’s around the corner.

Focus on Business
While we are technologists with many years building software solutions, we know that no technology will be successful unless we have first understood how the business works.
Simplicity in Design
It’s not enough to just make something that works. We want to make things that work well, solve problems and are simple and elegant.
Solution Seekers
Our solutions are always inspired by real-world problems that we observe and investigate with our customers by our side. We want to fix things that are critical to our customers’ success.
Unparalleled Support
We are beside you 100% of the way, from on-boarding through to sustainment. We provide simple, quick support tools so you can easily track and manage your requests.

Steve Hart
Founding Partner
Steve has over 20 years of experience designing, building and delivering successful technology solutions with a critical and dedicated focus on business value, people, and processes. His experience spans across several industries including education, financial services, health care, mining and others fulfilling several roles and functions including technical architecture, enterprise architecture, software development, team leadership, and Director of Engineering.

Stephanie Hayes
Founding Partner
As a business and technology consultant, Stephanie worked for years as a program lead, business analyst, and change manager, helping organizations design and implement pragmatic, effective business solutions.
Stephanie was always on the front end of her customers’ business processes, seeing first hand the gaps that existed in data management processes and solutions. Finally, she and her partners decided it was time to address those gaps, and Vivos was born.
You will still find Stephanie at the front end of Vivos implementations, but this time with a smile on her face as her happy customers breathe a sigh of relief!
