Healthcare innovation thrives on collaboration, not isolation. As the industry faces increasingly complex demands, it has become clear that no single vendor can deliver best-in-class solutions across each healthcare domain. Success depends on bringing together diverse expertise and technologies to meet increasing demands. 

Traditional monolithic healthcare systems, while comprehensive, have become obstacles to progress. Their rigid architecture, complexity, and limited interoperability create vendor lock-ins, with healthcare organisations relying on sole vendors to provide any changes or innovations to meet their evolving needs. This dependency makes integrating third-party solutions into their system difficult, costly and time-consuming. And hence, they almost never happen.
In contrast, open platforms, by default, support collaboration and are seen as a key tool for accelerating innovation in healthcare. By separating data from applications, open platforms are technology agnostic and enable healthcare organisations to rapidly adopt, upgrade, or replace solutions from any vendor. This inherent flexibility eliminates the constraints of legacy monolithic systems, empowering organisations to build a dynamic ecosystem of applications that best suit their needs.
