IT Sprawl: The Risks, Costs, and Capital Hiding In Plain Sight


This webinar is on-demand and can be viewed at your convenience.

Healthcare organizations often assume that go-lives are the final step in major technology implementations. In reality, it marks the beginning of a new and more complex challenge: what remains.

At many health systems, legacy applications, redundant tools and unsupported software quietly accumulate over time, each adding incremental cyber exposure, compliance vulnerability and operational costs.

The result is mounting technical debt at a time when margins are compressed, AI investment is accelerating and boards demand clearer financial accountability from IT leaders.

Application rationalization offers a path forward — but only when it is treated as a strategic discipline rather than a periodic cleanup effort.

In this session, two experts will outline how healthcare organizations can reframe rationalization as a lever for control, capital recovery and risk mitigation.

You will learn:

  • The financial, cyber and compliance risks embedded in unmanaged application portfolios
  • How to quantify technical debt and its impact on margins and enterprise liability
  • Why rationalization efforts stall — and how to overcome organizational resistance
  • How application rationalization supports M&A diligence, board reporting and AI investment capacity
