MediQuant Reduces Cyber Exposure, Tech Footprint, and Costs with Application Rationalization

About this episode

Jim Jacobs discusses how application rationalization can help healthcare systems reduce cyber exposure, tech footprint, and costs.

Over the decades, IT systems proliferate at health care systems, particularly when individual departments install solutions optimized for their particular use case. Jim Jacobs, CEO at MediQuant, points out that users tend to rely on existing systems and resist having them taken away. But consolidation can help customers meet their defined priorities: reducing cyber exposure, tech footprint, and costs. A structured application rationalization approach and tool can provide the data needed to make those decisions.
