Case Study: Cerner achieves lower costs and improved agility with TIBCO Software

Cerner Provides a Cure for Complex Healthcare IT

Cerner, the world’s largest publicly traded healthcare IT company serving over 27,500 provider facilities, faced an aging monolithic, on‑premises architecture that hindered agility, interoperability and compliance with country‑specific data residency laws. Building data centers everywhere was cost‑prohibitive, so Cerner needed a way to lower costs, speed integrations, and let patient data follow patients across systems while preserving its intellectual property.

Cerner addressed the challenge by partnering with TIBCO and major cloud providers (AWS, Azure, Google), adopting TIBCO BusinessWorks, BusinessEvents and Messaging and moving to event‑driven and service‑oriented architectures with selective cloud deployments. The result: lower costs and improved agility for clients, thousands of provider facilities better able to meet changing regulations, greater data accessibility and interoperability, and stronger customer relationships through shared, reusable services.
