Author and founder
Evan Gauer
Evan founded OpenVPM and writes its veterinary software research, comparison, data-ownership, and product-guidance articles. OpenVPM is a vendor, so every comparison is written with that interest disclosed rather than hidden.
The editorial standard is simple: prefer primary vendor material, distinguish published facts from OpenVPM's assessment, state current product limitations, and correct material errors when vendors or readers identify them.
