Biography
Bliss Crandall, widely known as the "father of computerized dairy records," founded DHI Computing Service in the early 1950's. DHI quickly became the premiere choice in processing dairy records for herds throughout the United States providing dairy management software tools to help clients increase profits and directly affect their bottom line. In 1964, DHI's reputation generated enormous interest from members of the banking industry, who approached DHI about processing financial data. Eventually, a Salt Lake City medical clinic requested medical data services. DHI then reorganized as a parent company, DHI Computing Service, Inc., and created specific divisions to serve these industries: Financial Processing Systems, now called FPS GOLD, for the banking industry, GOLDPoint Systems for the consumer finance industry, and PCIS GOLD, for the healthcare industry, offering practice management services. The dairy services were organized into DHI-Provo, offering herd and feed management software and records processing.
