Care About What You Do
I
founded Nolij Consulting, (pronounced “knowledge”), a certified Woman-Owned Small
Business (WOSB), in 2013. I
started the company with the mission of providing excellent federal health
information technology services at competitive rates. With this mission in
mind, the company quickly grew within federal healthcare to become a strong
information technology WOSB. By remaining committed to my mission to support
and improve federal healthcare, and focused specialization in software and system
testing, electronic health record modernization, and enterprise solutions, I
have had the privilege to support projects aligned with my passion.
I am very proud that today Nolij is playing a pivotal
role in The Department of Defense (DoD)’s mission to complete the largest
health record modernization effort in the history of the military health
system. This is a multi-million dollar contract where we conduct the
Independent Verification and Validation (IV&V) testing of MHS Genesis, made
up of Cerner and Dentrix, and all the applications that touch MHS Genesis, to
make sure all health records for our military heroes and their families travel
with them seamlessly throughout their career and into military retirement. We
also work with private hospitals to make sure they can access the DoD
healthcare records. This has been a huge improvement to the healthcare of our nation,
and we are so proud and honored to be a part of it. It has been great to continuously be
recognized by our clients for the excellent work we do. Nolij received the
Award for Excellence from the
Program Executive Office (PEO) Defense
Healthcare Management Systems (DHMS) organization for its MHS Genesis testing
efforts.
Hire the Right Talent
You
have to be passionate about the work you are doing, but you cannot achieve
success without the right team. I have surrounded myself with people who have the
right attitude, aptitude, and energy and the right mindset to roll up one’s
sleeves and do what it takes to win work and keep the business running. For a
small business to be successful, you need to hire employees, that appreciate
the uniqueness of working for a small organization and value the risk and rewards that go along
with it. We are fortunate to have built an outstanding company with employees
that appreciate this.
Continue to Build Capabilities
It
is important to constantly be looking for ways to innovate. Being a women-owned
small business (WOSB) in the federal space can be challenging, as you compete
for opportunities against large businesses and other set-asides like HUBZone, 8as,
Native American, and Hawaiian Owned. We have learned to partner with these
companies focusing on building our business around emerging technologies supporting
our expertise such as Artificial Intelligence, Robotic Process Automation
(RPA), Cyber Security, and DevSec Ops and now focusing on the commercial market
more than ever. We feel our electronic healthcare records information
technology expertise can be a big benefit to the commercial market. We hope to
continue building software partnerships like AWS, UiPath, and MicroFocus, and EHR
software vendors. We take pride in announcing that we have signed a joint
venture with an 8a company, Advanced, Innovative IT Solutions, LLC, with
expertise in cybersecurity and commercial healthcare. I have wanted to branch
out into the cyber and commercial health space and with this partnership, we
will have the expertise to do just that.
Support Other Women
Nolij Consulting is a woman-centric company and I feel that women leaders need to support other women. I am so gratified that our success has allowed us to support our women veteran’s through an organization called Women’s Veteran Interactive (WVI) which was started by Ginger Miller, a veteran herself, who saw hardship after her military career and wanted to help other women veterans in need. Nolij has a lot of respect for Ginger and would like to once again “Thank her for her service and dedication to Women Veterans”.
