From Dabney: “Re: former Sentillion exec departures from Microsoft. Microsoft transferred their 800 Health Solutions Group people into the small-to-medium commercial sector group (Microsoft Business Solutions) last Monday. Peter Neupert and his whole organization have been pushed out of the incubation group in Microsoft Research with the guys who sell Microsoft Axapta ERP and CRM for small commercial customers. That will mark the end of acquisitions and spending of Microsoft on health because they haven’t had any significant sales of Amalga UIS in the past year after already withdrawing Amalga HIS and Amalga RIS/PACS from the market. Microsoft is slowly edging towards an exit stage left in health IT.
Why would this not surprise me if true?
Because I predicted it.
In July 2006, nearly 5 years ago, in my July 2006 post "Bill, Have You Lost Your Mind?"
Nobody was listening, just as nobody seems to be listening to my current dire predictions for the National Program for IT in the HHS™ .
Wait until 2016...
