DXC Technology, a global independent, end-to-end IT services and solutions company, has announced it is selling its healthcare providers software business to an Italian healthcare technology company in a cash deal worth US$ 525 million.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The deal will make US-based DXC healthcare provider software business a part of Florence, Italy-based Dedalus Group, which claims to be Europe\u2019s leading healthcare and diagnostic software provider and one of the largest in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DXC, which was formed in the 2017 merger of HPE Enterprise Services and CSC, has been looking since late last year to seek strategic alternatives for three of its businesses: its US, state, and local health and human services business; its horizontal business process services (BPS) business and its workplace and mobility business. Those businesses combined represented about 25% of DXC\u2019s total revenue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DXC declined to provide more information about the sale beyond the company\u2019s press statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DXC\u2019s healthcare provider software is currently used by over 1 million users, including users in 80% of the top 15 US-based Fortune 500 healthcare organisations, DXC claimed on its website. Those users are maintaining 100 million electronic health records.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The software business includes an open digital health platform DXC claims can help improve care outcomes with contextual and actionable insights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mike Salvino, President and CEO, DXC Technology, said in a statement that the deal will benefit DXC\u2019s stakeholders, including customers and personnel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe sale of our healthcare provider software business to Dedalus is consistent with our strategy of focusing on the Enterprise Technology Stack and rationalising our portfolio,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DXC, which has been trying to sell off certain parts of the business accounting for about one-quarter of its total revenue, hopes to close on the US$ 525 million sale of the DXC healthcare provider software business by March 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DXC Technology has its Middle East and Africa (MEA) operations head office based in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
