ABOUT:

BHMI: BHMI was founded 36 years ago by Lynne Baldwin, Jack Baldwin, and Mike Meeks. The company originally focused on the creation of custom software solutions, but over the last 20 years, BHMI has evolved into a leading provider of software products focused on the back office processing of electronic payment transactions. The company is best known as the creator of the Concourse Financial Software Suite, which is a cohesive, integrated collection of back office products that allow companies to adapt to the rapidly changing payments landscape quickly and easily. As a modular solution including settlement, reconciliation, fees processing and disputes workflow management, Concourse reduces the cost and complexity of back office processing and enables organizations to modernize and monetize payments processing. Concourse’s continuous processing architecture and powerful rules engine are ideally suited for real-time payment methods, such as P2P, and enable companies to perform back office processing for any type of payment transaction.

Mike Meeks: Mike is one of the co-founders of BHMI. Mike originally met the other two founders, Jack and Lynne Baldwin, as college student. Lynne and Jack were both professors at the University of Nebraska at Omaha (UNO) and Mike was one of their computer science students.      

Casey Scheer: Casey has been with BHMI for more than 24 years. She originally got to know the founders of BHMI because her husband Rod was and still is a chief architect for the company.  Lynne, Jack, and Mike reached out to Casey in 1998 and asked if she would be willing to help with some marketing and sales initiatives and she has been with the company ever since.
