Infosys Acquires Optimum Healthcare IT to Expand Provider Services

Infosys announced a definitive agreement to acquire Optimum Healthcare IT, a healthcare consulting firm recognized for digital transformation work with provider organizations. The deal closes during the first quarter of fiscal 2027, subject to regulatory approvals.

Optimum Healthcare IT specializes in advising health systems and hospitals on large-scale transformation projects. The firm is an Elite ServiceNow partner and won the 2026 ServiceNow Partner of the Year Award. It also holds Premier AWS partner status and works with Workday and Microsoft Azure.

What Infosys Gets

The acquisition adds deep provider-domain expertise to Infosys' healthcare division. Optimum's clients will gain access to Infosys' broader offerings, including AI for Healthcare through its Topaz platform, cloud services via Cobalt, infrastructure support, cybersecurity, and application modernization.

Venky Ananth, Infosys' executive vice president for healthcare, said the combination strengthens the company's ability to run AI-led cloud and data transformation initiatives. This targets both improved patient experiences through personalized, data-driven care and operational cost reduction.

Leadership Continuity

Gene Scheurer and Jason Mabry, Optimum's co-founders and current leaders, remain with the company. Scheurer said the partnership with Infosys accelerates growth while maintaining the service model and healthcare focus clients expect.

Salil Parekh, Infosys' CEO, said combining Optimum's provider experience with Infosys' AI and cloud platforms creates a differentiated offering for healthcare systems pursuing end-to-end digital transformation.

Harris Williams served as investment bank advisor to Optimum Healthcare IT on the transaction.
