Vince Ciotti was invited to visit Epic's headquarters and meet with CEO Judy Faulkner to discuss the history of the company for an article he was writing. Contrary to his expectations of a formal corporate meeting, Faulkner greeted Ciotti warmly and personally took him to a casual meeting room. She openly answered his questions about Epic's origins and growth without any marketing spin. Based on feedback from several CIOs who are Epic customers, Faulkner maintains close relationships with clients and prioritizes customer service, earning her widespread respect in the industry. Ciotti was impressed by her down-to-earth demeanor and plans to profile Epic's success story from its founding in 1979
