Thoughts on the acquisition? Could this lead to a change in the healthcare industry and potentially CRM?
I think we'll see a lot of these product companies in decidedly "non tech" spaces starting to get acquired as they struggle with implementing their solutions on a modern cloud/scalable technology stack. They simply do not have and are not willing to pay for the talent to do that successfully. Kronos is another example and ukg is pretty fucked now
I used to work for Cerner and this sounds very accurate
Glad to be out of this space soon. Tech wise it's a train wreck. No one has experience with scaling these on premise systems to be truly cloud/multi-tenant at the 150k salary these places are paying for Sr swe.
Is this the reason they have been laying off people from last 6 months?
Is it official?
Yep. Check Google.
Yes.
Family member is a Cerner employee. How worried should they be about their job? How has Oracle handled this historically?
Short term, don’t worry.
Gives Cerner more juice to take on EPIC. Also makes me wonder if EPIC is now a takeover target too.
If these cloud folks are smart—yes. Someone should buy Epic ASAP.
I don't think Epic will be bought anytime soon. One of our guiding principles is literally "don't be acquired"
