Every CIO has the same modernization checklist: migrate to the cloud, implement Zero Trust, and harness AI for competitive advantage. Boards are demanding progress. Budgets are allocated. Projects are launched. Yet 70% of these initiatives stall, fail, or deliver disappointing results. The culprit isn’t the technology—it’s the foundation. Identity sprawl

Most organizations treat integration as the finish line Systems stay online, employees can authenticate, and operations continue without disruption. From the outside, it looks like success.

Imagine this: Domains consolidate without conflict or downtime  Systems integrate so smoothly you don’t notice the seams  Users from both sides of the merger collaborate immediately, on

The biggest failure point in healthcare mergers isn’t data loss or application downtime. It’s silence. When systems can’t talk to each other—when identities aren’t recognized across domains, and communication tools don’t interoperate—frontline care teams are left to improvise. That’s not resilience. That’s risk. In complex, fast-paced clinical environments, seamless communication

In healthcare, every login is a link in the care chain. From triage to discharge, clinical workflows depend on reliable,

In most healthcare mergers, the integration clock starts ticking the moment the deal is signed. But long after

In the wake of a healthcare merger, most IT teams are tasked with doing more—with less. Two organizations become one, but the systems, directories, and support burdens often double. While leadership looks for cost savings, the identity infrastructure quietly drains resources. Fragmented authentication processes, duplicate licensing, and unmanaged user access
