Factors driving healthcare M&A activity

What market and regulatory changes are fueling IT modernization and innovation in the healthcare market?

Healthcare M&A activity at record pace

HITECH Act• Stimulate adoption of

EHR systems (i.e. Epic)

Affordable Care Act• Shift to outcome-based care• Rising costs / reduced payouts • Increased competition

Active Directory consolidation challenges

Business disruption

Operations are dependent on existing infrastructure

Tight timelines

Pressure to meet M&A commitments

Some TSAs have costly penalties if deadline is not met

Budget, resources & expertise

Many customers lack internal expertise or resources

Planning, inventory & assessment

Continuous M&A activity leads to infrastructure sprawl.

Native tools provide limited visibility
