BlueWare, Inc. was an international strategic healthware solutions corporation located in Cadillac, Michigan,[1] which focused on developing and marketing software products to the healthcare industry.

It was announced that BlueWare expected to employ 190 people at an average salary of $69,000, saying “Today’s announcement is a great win for the Space Coast, as well as for the entire state.” At the time, Harr stated that “BlueWare holds 10 companies within its corporate family and we look forward to expanding our presence in healthcare, education, and government sectors” [2] Prior to that, in early 2012, BlueWare CEO Rose Harr met then Brevard county clerk Mitch Needelman, via Matt DuPree, a former lobbyist and business partner of Needelman.

[3] On October 27, 2012, Needelman signed a $6.1 million loan with Hewlett-Packard, despite the fact that the county clerk is not allowed under Florida law to borrow money.

On January 8, 2013, Ellis was sworn in as Brevard country clerk and continued his investigation into the dealings between Needelman and BlueWare.
