William Murphy is the Vice President of Regulatory & Quality. A seasoned leader with over 40 years in leadership roles, in both small and large organizations, Bill has led various functional teams including Quality, Regulatory, Process Control, Manufacturing, Operations, Training, IT and R&D during these years. Bill is a hands-on leader who recognizes the need to lead by example, best when others are providing him their opinions and logic based on the facts as they see them.

Bill has been referred to as a visionary by many of his former team members. Bill will tell you he has been the fortunate leader who inherited outstanding team members, not heard by their previous managers. These individuals presented their concepts of how to improve the company. Bill’s ability to listen to and understand concepts allow him to use the expertise of others paired with his ability to define a vision and drive that vision to a successful closure. He just cleared the path for talented people to make things better.

Business Systems focused on the customer and supported by smart science are always compliant. A simple philosophy that meets the needs of the employees, customers, their patients, business partners, suppliers, investors, the company, and regulatory agencies.

Customer loyalty is earned every day. Taking a negative experience and turning it into a positive experience begins the journey to earning the customer’s respect and loyalty.

Andrew Bardwell leads a talented team of clinicians, engineers and educators who are passionate advocates for our customers.

In his role as VP of Product Strategy, Andrew identifies opportunities to deliver solutions that not only work great—but they help customers tackle clinical or operational pain-points usually outside the reach of other EMRs. As a nurse himself (and unashamed UX obsessive), Andrew believes that healthcare technology only creates real value by improving real-world outcomes, not by satisfying another “quality measure” check box. With each product innovation, his goal is removing barriers from overburdened clinicians, allowing them to do what they do best.

Andrew holds a bachelor’s degree in criminology from The Ohio State University as well as a bachelor’s in nursing and MBA in Healthcare Administration from Cleveland State University

Scott Sherrill is Vice President of Sales and works with hospital leaders to bring Talis technology into their organizations.

Scott holds a B.S. and a Minor in Business Administration from Texas A&M University.
