I work for DeVenture. Not sure what to think, but their wording was a little strange. Not sure if I believe things will not change as they stated. The company name will be Transcend, so I am thinking the benefits will change.

Transcend/Deventure
Just got the official e-mail a few minutes ago. Operations as a combined company 1/1/2009.
Transcend/DeVenture
Yep, 01/01/09 we are going to be with Transcend. Doesn't sound like they have Per Diem work, even if you have been on Per Diem at DVHP. I would ask, but in the outline from the Sunday conference questions, they are stating the Per Diem have the opportunity to go PT or FT (not stay Per Diem). Good question....
Transcend/DeVenture
Holiday Greetings!
I am NOT looking for any dirt on either company. I have been happily employed at Deventure for 1+ years. It is generally known they are merging with Transcend. Needless to say, I am apprenehsive.
I was wondering if any current or past employee could give me an idea what to expect in terms of flexibility, minimum line count etc part-time versus full-time etc.
Thank to everyone/anyone and Happy New Year.
When did Transcend buy DeVenture? sm
I have nto been on the boards for a while, too busy, but this is surprising. I guess Transcend would like to monopolize the eScription accounts and take them away from Focus. Not a bad idea if they keep it in the USA and not India.
Did Keystrokes sell to Transcend? I thought Keystrokes was buying up companies sm
but I heard from another service owner that they sold out to Transcend. Anyone know if that happened?
Did Keystrokes sell to Transcend? I thought Keystrokes was buying sm
small companies but another service owner told me that she heard that Keystrokes sold to Transcend. Is this true?
I posted this down below but meant to post it as a new thread. Before I apply with them, I would like to know as I left Transcend a few months ago and do NOT want to get back into that mess.
I'm buying it...nm
You buying?

But you have to keep buying
needles, and a bunch of other stuff, all of which stand a very good chance of having been made overseas. You may be paying less for all this than for ready-made garments, but you probably still are purchasing foreign goods. Just sayin'...
I'm not buying your story at all. Besides,
speech therapy, pain clinic, wound care are all not acute care. How many YEARS did you have in acute care and ONLY acute care? And how long ago? Also, how did you do on the test? You're not telling something.
SPi buying Medware
Heard this from a supervisor a while back that it was in the works for SPi to buy out Medware. Confirmed with another management person last week.
When they bought out CyMed, none of the editors or MTs heard a word until we had a conference call telling us that they had already bought out Cymed and changes would start taking effect almost immediately.
If you work for Medware and they do buy you out, be ready for some MAJOR changes to the way you do your work.
I actually thought the changes they made in our benefits from what CyMed had were improvements. CyMed never offered us ANYthing benefits-wise that was either company matched or just outright paid by the company, which SPi does...
They DO get rid of people who aren't 'doing their jobs' & a LOT of management were quickly gone.
Is SPi buying Medware?
I currently work for Medware and have heard about SPi buying them out. After all I have read with SPi buying Cymed out and the way the company has treated people I am terrified now. Can someone shed some light?
Likely that is the company buying you out. (sm)
Which company is offering you jobs?
Is SPI buying OSI (from post below)

Do you mean apart from them buying 2 Indian co's
And they seem to have an interest in buying some

Please think twice before buying a computer for
As stated below, many new hires do not even have the work to transcribe 5 jobs a day. While the poster above is happy, she is not happy financially. She is happy she got 5 jobs today to even transcribe. That's not going to pay for a computer. Can you use another computer until you're sure this is going to work for you?
Not buying your retraction for a second
If you were that deliriously happy with your employer, you would not be INTERVIEWING, not just look as you said you turned down the job which means you INTERVIEWED.
I think instead you just realized maybe in spite of other problems you have with your MT, you're allowed to call your own shots on your schedule so you'll stay.
Don't try to be deceptive or change the meaning of your first post. It destroys any credibility you may have had going in, even if people did not agree with your post.
You love your heart sooooo much you're out interviewing...thanks for the giggles!!!
If you are really serious about buying clothes
that are American-made, here you go:

Yes, I will, but I'm not buying this. I think someone's trying to stir things up.

How about buying a set of SUM tapes to do some self study?

I wonder if buying another company could in fact
I wonder if for these employees this could mean a lower premium to pay for health benefits or steady work for the Transcriptionist that runs low each and every day. Sometimes when companies merge it can not necessarily be a bad thing. Transcription is definitely global. I would have to imagine even companies who say they do not offshore are doing it but do not always inform the employees of such. Not every decision that is made on an upper management level is passed down to the employees. You'll find this a lot in institutions and larger companies. That is why companies have CEO's and believe me they are making the decisions so that the company benefits, hence so will the transcriptionists even if you think you're not.
A $1000 computer is bit different than buying $10

OSI in Ga. buying out Pradot and Fore
OSI has always sent work to India but the greedy little b___ couldn't keep their fingers out of more Indian pie.
Guess with their new partners who have Indian interests the final nail is about to come.
This is the very reason they are about to do an across the board pay cut.
Why should they pay the US MT's more than they pay the Indian MT's?
Look for managment fallout.
Welcome to the world of the modern day transcription industry.
Maybe Acusis will end up buying Spheris, too.
After all, they bought DRC, and are looking for more.
You're right, but we would have to stop buying
drugs and Ford cars because their factories are in Mexico. The Ford cars are not big deal, but the drugs are. I do try to buy only American though.
Not making $$ but still buying companies?
What they MEAN is there is no money for those of us in the trenches who keep this company floating day after day. They apparently have enough money to buy out TransHealth - which we were supposed to merge with over a year ago! They had enough money to buy MTEC. Apparently they just don't have the money for the poor working stiffs in the trenches. Seems everyone else in this company is doing just fine!! Remarkable!
With so many IC jobs/companies, would think MTs are buying insurance outside

Agree. Don't waste your time buying
Word 2003 if you don't have it. They say lots of work and then there is nothing. Also check any QA you get back very carefully as I don't think the QA lady knows what she is doing and she also has an extremely condescending attitude if you have a question. I learned quickly to not ask since I didn't appreciate being talked to like I was 10 years old. I wasted my money on Word 2003 and I wished I hadn't.

Does TT still offer a bonus for buying hybrids?

all this shifting aroung at MQ...is spheris still interested in buying them out? (nm)

Buying reference books a tax write-off, yeah? (nm)
Your opinion we stop paying taxes, buying

And stop buying foreign cars for crying out loud. sm
Look at the 10s of thousands of workers who are being laid off from GM and Ford after giving decades of their lives. Thanks to all you people who buy foreign cars. 
With Nuance buying Focus, what will happen to the eScription accounts? sm
I really don't think eScription is going to like the fact that Dictaphone/Nuance is going to be working on their platform and learning their secrets to their software.........do you?
This is so interesting to me as I am an eScription editor. Maybe it is time I start my own business again and contact all of the eScription hospital accounts or contact eScription and get their input on this.
In reading Nuance's press release, Bringham Women's Hospital is an eScription account not a dictaphone account. Very interesting......Don't you think? Would love to hear opinions on this.
After 8 years in the business, I start buying presents in August, cause I know the slow period SM
is coming around the holidays. :-)
Not to say we dont all starve and Im not totally stressed out come December, but at least Ive got my gifts :-)
Get real..... who is buying new cars, satellite dishes, video games? How about rent, utilities on t

Transcend bought MDI, so if Transcend sends work offshore, so does MDI. nm
nm
If MDI-FL is owned by Transcend and Transcend admittingly offshores, sm
then doesn't that make MDI a company that offshores? That's like saying that one branch of a company offshores but another does not, so they are excluded from the offshore label. If MDI-FL is part of Transcend and Transcend offshores, that means that they do.
RE: If MDI-FL is owned by Transcend and Transcend admittingly offshores, sm
Your hypothesis is incorrect. MDI is a wholly independent subsidary of Transcend, therefore, they were not a part of the experiment to offshore to evaluate cost/benefit ratio that Transcend only tried for 90 days (I believe the evaluation process is not still ongoing).
DeVenture
Anybody work for DeVenture? Need info.
Deventure...
Nice people, but I found their platform to be rather tedious and time-consuming. Also very strict on scheduling and I needed more flexibility.
HTH..
DeVenture ?
Any DeVenture feedback? All e-mails kept confidential. Thanks!
Deventure
I see unanswered posts about Deventure and thought I would give my opinion. I am new there, but impressed. Setup was extremely smooth and recruiter, supervisor, and tech people are on the ball. Good feedback and encouragement. Great accounts and not-so-great accounts. The constant ads are because they are adding new accounts by the minute.
DeVenture
I was just hired by DeVenture. Can anyone tell me anything at all about this company that they would like to share?
Thanks in advance!
Did you say you are now with DeVenture?
I think you did in another post, if I'm mistaken I apologize! This totally sounds like something they would do. Truly some great people there!
deventure
does anyone know if deventure has work strictly in the US or do they outsource to india? I was wondering whether or not to apply but don't want to if they outsource. Thanks in advance.
DeVenture??
Any opinions? good/bad???
DeVenture -
don't venture. the new Q -- dedictated to making even MORE profit off our hardworking backs with fewer crumbs in return.
