Foothold Technology
Foothold Technology was launched in 2000 by Marlowe Greenberg, Tom Mitchell, and Nick Scharlatt. Greenberg originally developed the software while serving as IT Director at Community Access, a behavioral health and residential services agency in New York. The product was then expanded with two other agencies before being commercialized. The company's software provides case management, client tracking, treatment planning, and homeless information management for human services agencies. It supports Medicaid billing and serves organizations across behavioral health, residential services, and homeless services. Foothold's customer base spans hundreds of agencies nationally, plus Guam and Puerto Rico. The firm joined Alpine Software Group in 2018, combining with Exym and KaleidaCare. Foothold maintains offices in New York and Walnut Creek, California. The team size is not publicly disclosed. In 2018, Foothold merged with Exym and KaleidaCare under Alpine Software Group (per the firm's website). The company also hosts an annual User Conference and awards an Impact Prize to recognize innovative client outcomes. Foothold's structure is distinct as an operating company owned by Alpine Software Group, a vertical software platform. The firm's strategic direction is set by its co-founders, with Greenberg having direct operational experience in the sector — a non-standard governance model for a software vendor.
