For $465 million and $95 million, Infosys will purchase US companies Optimum Healthcare IT and Stratus, respectively.

Infosys has announced the acquisition of two US-based firms in all-cash transactions, strengthening its presence in healthcare and insurance technology services. The Bengaluru-headquartered IT major said it will acquire Optimum Healthcare IT for $465 million and Stratus for $95 million, taking the combined deal value to $560 million.

The development marks one of the largest acquisitions in the sector since 2025, second only to Tata Consultancy Services’ $700 million purchase of Coastal Cloud last year. Infosys said the acquisition of Optimum Healthcare IT will significantly enhance its presence in the healthcare provider segment by adding new clients, expanding technological capabilities, and unlocking synergies across emerging demand centres.

Optimum Healthcare IT, previously owned by Achieve Partners along with its founders and management, brings more than 1,600 employees with deep healthcare domain expertise. Infosys chief executive Salil Parekh said the integration of Optimum’s capabilities with Infosys Topaz and Infosys Cobalt platforms will help accelerate large-scale cloud, data, and digital transformation for healthcare providers.

Optimum’s CEO and co-founder Gene Scheurer noted that Infosys’ global scale and long-term investments will enable the company to expand its AI-driven and digital services while continuing to deliver value to its clients.

In a separate transaction, Infosys will acquire Stratus, which was previously owned by Smart Global Holdings along with its founders and management. Stratus employs more than 450 professionals and specialises in Guidewire and property and casualty (P&C) insurance platform consulting. Infosys said the acquisition will enhance insurers’ customer experience while supporting core modernisation, cloud adoption, and data-driven transformation initiatives.

Stratus chief executive Chuck Fillizola described the deal as a strategic fit, emphasising the importance of combining technology with strong execution capabilities to operationalise AI across delivery and operations.

Infosys clarified that the acquisitions include upfront payments and earnouts, excluding management incentives and retention bonuses. The company will acquire 100% equity in Optimum Healthcare IT and a partnership interest in Stratus through its wholly owned subsidiary, Infosys Nova Holdings LLC. Both transactions are expected to close in the first quarter of fiscal 2027, subject to customary closing conditions.
