Infosys has announced agreements to acquire two U.S.-based technology firms—Optimum Healthcare IT and Stratus—in all-cash transactions valued at a combined $560 million, as the company sharpens its focus on sector-specific digital transformation and artificial intelligence.
The company said it will acquire healthcare consulting firm Optimum Healthcare IT for $465 million and insurance technology provider Stratus for $95 million, according to a regulatory filing.
The acquisition of Optimum Healthcare IT is aimed at strengthening Infosys’ footprint in the healthcare provider segment, enhancing its ability to support large-scale digital transformation across clinical and operational systems. The U.S.-based firm brings deep expertise in electronic health records, advisory services, and implementation support, positioning it as a strategic fit for Infosys’ expanding healthcare portfolio.
Infosys plans to integrate Optimum’s capabilities with its existing platforms, including its AI and cloud offerings, to deliver end-to-end solutions spanning data, infrastructure, cybersecurity, and application modernization. The move is expected to expand Infosys’ client base in the healthcare sector while opening new avenues for growth across provider organizations.
Separately, the acquisition of Stratus is set to bolster Infosys’ presence in the property and casualty (P&C) insurance market. Stratus specializes in Guidewire-based transformation services and offers end-to-end capabilities across policy, claims, billing, and cloud migration. With a workforce of over 450 professionals and operations across the U.S., Canada, and India, the company adds significant domain depth and consulting expertise.
By combining Stratus’ industry-specific capabilities with its own AI-led platforms and global delivery network, Infosys aims to accelerate modernization initiatives for insurers, particularly in areas such as underwriting, claims automation, and risk modeling. The deal is also expected to strengthen Infosys’ relationships with global insurance clients and expand its reach into new customer segments.
Both transactions are expected to close in the first quarter of FY2027, subject to regulatory approvals and customary closing conditions.
The twin acquisitions underscore Infosys’ broader strategy of investing in high-growth verticals and scaling its AI-driven transformation offerings, as enterprises increasingly seek specialized technology partners to navigate complex digital ecosystems.
