Douglas M. Burghardt, President

Doug studied Electrical Engineering at Purdue University. After serving in the Army Security Agency of the U.S. Army, Doug joined the IBM Corporation as a Customer Engineer. He later graduated from University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee with a B. S. in Economics in 1971. After locating in Texas, he studied programming at the University of Houston. Doug was a successful branch manager for two companies in the computer leasing and maintenance business from 1965 to 1981.

Doug joined The F. Dohmen Company as a salesman for their AIM-RITE pharmacy management system, where he was responsible for conceiving and developing a new, less expensive AIM-RITE product for use on PC computers. The product premiered at the 1981 Wisconsin Pharmacist Convention as the first microcomputer-based multi-user, multi-tasking pharmacy management system in the country. Doug then led the AIM-RITE Computer Division of The F. Dohmen Company as the Director of Marketing, also responsible for all programming and support. Under his direction, the AIM-RITE Computer Division quickly expanded their customer base to 85 workstations in just 10 months.

Doug left The F. Dohmen Company in May of 1986. Beginning with what was orginally to be an application to help manage I.V. prescription compounding, Doug developed the Sure Scrip(tm) pharmacy management system. Doug founded Solid Systems, which later became Lake Country Systems. His vision and innovation continue to guide the development of all of LCS's products and services.
