Hiring developers is both art and science. With the advent of social coding (ala GitHub), there is much more opportunity to assess their work product, how they document their code, and even how they take feedback/critique.
My guess is that part of how Pri-Med will help AC is bring in some outside development expertise to review process, resources, logistics, infrastructure, and execution. A fresh set of eyes and perspective can be a game changer.
The fact that they have switched from a massive undertaking (v7) to a incremental release to pick up several languishing issues is very promising.
This would be a good time for AC to re-think the whole re-invent the wheel PM approach from a business perspective. AC and their users might be better off if AC got serious about interfaces or integration for PMs. I can think of a few RCM companies who would welcome AC collaborating so that the practices get what they need.
