Clearsense and Nordic have entered a strategic collaboration to deliver a comprehensive solution for Application Portfolio Management (APM) in health systems.
The partnership aims to streamline application rationalisation, decommissioning, and active archiving, addressing the critical need for efficient software management in healthcare.
APM is essential for health systems with shrinking margins and rising operational demands.
The collaboration allows health systems to cut costs, enhance efficiency, and establish infrastructure for modern analytics and AI-driven innovation.
Clearsense CEO Jason Rose said: “Health systems are under intense pressure to do more with less while preparing for a more connected, AI-driven future.
“APM is a proven way to unlock immediate savings and modernise infrastructure—but many organisations stall out due to limited internal bandwidth and the complexity of retiring systems at scale.
“Our collaboration with Nordic removes those barriers, offering a fast, structured, and scalable path forward.”
The Clearsense-Nordic collaboration is customised for medium- to large-sized healthcare systems with complex IT environments.
Nordic provides advisory expertise and a managed service approach to APM, offering application rationalisation, governance, and decommissioning processes.
Clearsense enhances this with its 1Clearsense data enablement platform, automating data extraction, migration, and archiving while ensuring real-time access for users.
Together, Clearsense and Nordic offer an end-to-end APM solution, encompassing strategy, execution, and ongoing data access.
Furthermore, a case study by KLAS Emerging Insights validated the impact of APM, showcasing Clearsense’s role in a major US healthcare initiative that saved over $65m.
Nordic chief growth officer Steve Eckert said: “Think of it like an assembly line: Nordic helps set up and manage the processes, while Clearsense ensures every part of the system is safely retired and the data remains accessible.
“It’s a true turnkey mode that delivers immediate and sustained return on investment while creating the foundation for long-term innovation.
“As we continue to partner with healthcare organisations on modernising their IT systems, APM is a critical piece of the puzzle that needs to be addressed.”
