One of Middle Tennessee’s largest technology consulting companies has been acquired by a recently launched Seattle peer that’s backed by one of the country’s largest Catholic health systems.
Terms of the acquisition of Cool Springs-based Cumberland by Tegria aren’t being disclosed. The local company’s more than 300 employees will continue their IT systems consulting work with providers and insurers under the Cumberland brand.
Tegria was formed last October when executives of Providence, a health system with more than 50 hospitals and 1,000 clinics in seven states, combined nine health care technology companies in which they had invested into one venture. With the addition of Cumberland, Tegria now is home to more than 3,000 strategists, technologists, service providers and scientists looking to guide health care players through a period of digital transformation that the COVID pandemic has accelerated.
