Signify Premium Insight: Clock already ticking for Oracle Cerner on i.s.h.med

Published: December 16, 2022

Software multinational SAP’s recent announcement that it would cease supporting Oracle Cerner’s i.s.h.med EHR solution by 2030 requires a swift and decisive response from Oracle Cerner. Even the company’s most loyal customers – and there are many – will need clarity on its plans for i.s.h.med. They will need to know whether Oracle Cerner will invest further in a solution which has served it well for several years, and which continues to secure big hospital contracts in Europe. Or they will need to know if Oracle Cerner plans to let i.s.h.med go quietly. 

Oracle’s recent acquisition of Cerner adds a new, potentially uncomfortable, dynamic to the equation. Oracle and SAP are fierce rivals in enterprise resource planning (ERP).
