Strategic Partnership Enhances Healthcare IT Efficiency
NASHVILLE, Tenn., June 23, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Clearsense®, a cloud-based data enablement platform company, and Nordic®, a global healthcare consulting firm, have announced a strategic collaboration to offer a comprehensive Application Portfolio Management (APM) solution. This partnership is designed to help healthcare organizations assess, prioritize, and eliminate redundant or outdated software applications, thereby reducing costs and improving operational efficiency.
The Need for Application Portfolio Management
The healthcare industry has seen significant digital transformation over the past decade, resulting in many health systems managing hundreds or even thousands of applications. According to Gartner, an estimated 20 to 30 percent of IT systems in merged health systems are duplicative or obsolete, leading to resource drain, cybersecurity risks, and slowed innovation. However, most organizations lack the bandwidth, governance, or infrastructure to effectively address this issue.
Key Components of the Partnership
Nordic brings its deep advisory expertise and managed service approach to APM, providing application rationalization, cross-functional governance, and repeatable decommissioning processes. Clearsense complements this with its secure, scalable data enablement platform, which automates data extraction, migration, and active archiving while maintaining real-time access for operational and finance users.
“Health systems are under intense pressure to do more with less while preparing for a more connected, AI-driven future,” said Jason Z. Rose, CEO of Clearsense. “Our collaboration with Nordic removes barriers to APM adoption, offering a fast, structured, and scalable path forward.”
Benefits of the Collaboration
The partnership enables health systems to:
- Reduce costs associated with maintaining redundant or outdated applications
- Improve clinical and operational efficiency through streamlined IT systems
- Build infrastructure to support modern analytics and AI-driven innovation
A recent KLAS Emerging Insights Case Study highlighted Clearsense’s role in a major application rationalization and active archiving initiative, which delivered over $65 million in annual savings. Health systems can now take advantage of a low-cost assessment to explore the benefits of APM and gain insights into potential cost savings and operational gains.
