Bengaluru, India : Infosys Limited (NSE, BSE, NYSE: INFY), a global leader in next-generation digital services and consulting, has announced two strategic acquisitions aimed at strengthening its capabilities in healthcare and insurance technology. The company will acquire Optimum Healthcare IT and Stratus Global LLC, signaling a major push to expand its AI-driven cloud and digital transformation services in the U.S. market.
Infosys to Acquire Optimum Healthcare IT
Infosys has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Optimum Achieve Holdings, Inc., including its key subsidiary, Optimum Healthcare IT, a Florida-based healthcare consulting and digital transformation firm.
The acquisition is expected to significantly enhance Infosys’ footprint in the healthcare provider segment, enabling large-scale AI-powered and cloud-enabled transformations.
Optimum Healthcare IT brings a workforce of more than 1,600 professionals with deep domain expertise and a strong track record in delivering measurable outcomes for healthcare clients. The company is widely recognized for its leadership in healthcare IT consulting and has earned accolades such as “Best in KLAS.”
Following the acquisition, Infosys plans to integrate Optimum’s capabilities with its own AI platform, Infosys Topaz, and cloud suite, Infosys Cobalt. This integration will offer clients a comprehensive portfolio that includes cloud engineering, cybersecurity, and enterprise application transformation.
The deal is valued at up to $465 million, including earnouts, and is expected to close in the first quarter of fiscal year 2027, subject to regulatory approvals in the United States.
Salil Parekh, CEO of Infosys, said the acquisition creates a differentiated value proposition by combining deep provider expertise with advanced AI and cloud capabilities.
Gene Scheurer added that joining Infosys will accelerate AI-led growth while preserving the company’s client-first culture.
Acquisition of Stratus Global LLC Strengthens Insurance Capabilities
In a parallel move, Infosys has also agreed to acquire Stratus Global LLC, a New Jersey-based technology services firm specializing in the Property & Casualty (P&C) insurance sector.
Stratus is known for its expertise in Guidewire implementations, cloud migration, and managed services. The acquisition will bolster Infosys’ leadership in insurance technology, particularly in core system modernization and AI-driven transformation initiatives.
With more than 450 domain experts, Stratus brings strong capabilities in underwriting, claims processing, and fraud detection systems—areas increasingly being reshaped by artificial intelligence.
The deal is valued at up to $95 million and is also expected to close in Q1 FY2027, subject to customary closing conditions.
