Boise is one of America's most dynamic growth markets — and its healthcare and education institutions are working to keep pace with an influx of technologically sophisticated new residents. Build platforms that meet their expectations.
The Boise Technology Challenge
Idaho's population has grown faster than almost any state over the past decade, with Boise's metro area leading the national rankings for growth multiple years running. This growth creates technology pressure in both healthcare (capacity-strained health systems serving a rapidly expanding patient base) and education (Boise State adapting to serve a more diverse student population that includes California transplants expecting a California-caliber digital experience). Building for Boise requires understanding both the speed of growth and the expectations it brings.
