In a strategic move to expand its healthcare footprint, Infosys has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Optimum Healthcare IT, a US-based digital transformation and consulting firm, for $465 million.
The deal includes upfront and earn-out payments, and excludes management incentives and retention bonuses. Founded in 2012 and headquartered in Florida, Optimum Healthcare IT focuses on technology-driven consulting, implementation, and managed services for hospitals, health systems, and payers.
The company is majority-owned by private equity investors, along with its founders and management team. It reported revenues of $275.9 million in FY25, a sharp rise from $106.6 million in FY24.
This acquisition is expected to strengthen Infosys’ capabilities in the healthcare sector, especially in working with health systems and provider organisations. It will also expand Infosys’ presence in the provider segment by adding new clients, building relationships, and enhancing technology capabilities across different business areas.
With this integration, healthcare providers served by Optimum Healthcare IT will gain access to Infosys’ wider offerings. These include Infosys Topaz AI, Infosys Cobalt cloud, cloud engineering, infrastructure services, cybersecurity, and application transformation solutions.
Salil Parekh, Chief Executive Officer, Infosys, said, “Optimum Healthcare IT has established a strong position in the healthcare sector by consistently delivering measurable outcomes through deep domain expertise and trusted client engagements. By bringing together Optimum’s provider experience with Infosys Topaz and Infosys Cobalt, we are positioned to create a differentiated value proposition for healthcare providers – accelerating end-to-end cloud, data, and digital transformation at scale. We are pleased to welcome Optimum Healthcare and its leadership team to Infosys as we advance our shared vision for the future of healthcare.”
Gene Scheurer, Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder of Optimum Healthcare IT, said, “From the beginning, Optimum was built to deliver results through a focus on execution, collaboration, and quality. With Infosys’ long-term investment and global scale behind us, we’re positioned to accelerate AI and digital led growth and expand what we can deliver while remaining anchored in the values, service model, and healthcare focus our clients count on.”
The transaction is expected to close in the first quarter of FY27, subject to regulatory approvals and standard closing conditions.
