The company’s Oracle Fusion Cloud ERP platform is equipped with project management, financials, procurement, enterprise performance management (EPM), analytics, risk management, compliance, supply chain, and manufacturing.

When the acquisition is complete, Cerner will become a dedicated Industry Business Unit within Oracle, acting as an “anchor asset” to help the company continue to expand into the healthcare industry. Oracle plans to invest its resources into Cerner to help accelerate product and technology development and provide medical providers with the interfaces and functionalities needed to care for patients. Oracle will also maintain and grow Cerner’s existing community presence while also capitalizing on its global footprint to help Cerner reach other geographies.

Larry Ellison, the Chairman and Chief Technology Officer at Oracle, says, “Working together, Cerner and Oracle have the capacity to transform healthcare delivery by providing medical professionals with better information—enabling them to make better treatment decisions resulting in better patient outcomes. With this acquisition, Oracle’s corporate mission expands to assume the responsibility to provide our overworked medical professionals with a new generation of easier-to-use digital tools that enable access to information via a hands-free voice interface to secure cloud applications. This new generation of medical information systems promises to lower the administrative workload burdening our medical professionals, improve patient privacy and outcomes, and lower overall healthcare costs.”
