Infosys has announced a definitive agreement to acquire Optimum Healthcare IT, a healthcare digital transformation and consulting firm, for $465 million, including upfront and earn-out payments, excluding management incentives and retention bonuses.
Founded in 2012, headquartered in Florida, US, Optimum Healthcare IT specialises in technology-driven consulting, implementation, and managed services for hospitals, health systems, and payers.
Optimum Healthcare IT is majority-owned by private equity investors, founders, and management. The company’s revenues in FY25 were $275.9 million, up from FY24’s $106.6 million.
Strengthening healthcare capabilities
This acquisition will strengthen Infosys’ healthcare capabilities, particularly in collaboration with health systems and provider organisations.
This investment enhances Infosys’ presence in the provider segment, adding new clients and relationships, expanding technology capabilities, and creating synergies across new buying centres. Healthcare providers served by Optimum Healthcare IT will now have access to Infosys’ broader offerings, including Infosys Topaz AI, Infosys Cobalt cloud, cloud engineering, infrastructure services, cybersecurity, and application transformation.
