  5. ePostRx Product History ePostRx was originally architected as a middle-ware translating technology to facilitate e-prescribing between legacy pharmacy systems. Due to the slow adoption of electronic prescribing, customer requests prompted ANS to build a pharmacy management system around the core middle-ware product. In May 2006 to spur company growth and gain instant market share ANS released ePostRx as an open source application. Since the open source release ANS has installed eight customers.
