October 2026 edition of CloudWave Connections
Hi friend,
Earlier this week, we announced an agreement for CloudWave to join Tegria. We are thrilled to join Tegria, largely because of what it means for our customers.
First, what stays the same. The people who support your hospital today will be the same people who support you tomorrow. Your contracts, your service levels, and your points of contact don’t change. Our focus on serving healthcare stays where it has always been, now with even more scale, depth, and scope.
What changes is what we can bring you. Tegria brings deep consulting and implementation expertise, data and analytics, and revenue cycle services, amongst other capabilities. Together, we can support more of what a hospital needs from one trusted partner, beyond hosting, infrastructure, and security. That means fewer handoffs, more capacity during your hardest projects, and more investment in the security and resilience your patients depend on.
Our team is excited about the road ahead and coming together with our colleagues at Tegria. Our shared focus on healthcare will continue to serve as the foundation for everything we do.
We appreciate your continued partnership and trust, and we look forward to sharing more about our enhanced capabilities soon.
Thank you.
Erik Littlejohn
President and CEO

October is Cybersecurity Awareness Month
For many of us in Healthcare IT, cybersecurity is part of our everyday lives. CISA, the National Coordinator for Critical Infrastructure Security and Resilience, dedicates October to educating Americans about the importance of cybersecurity at the national, local, and personal levels. Their mission expands across three primary areas: cybersecurity, infrastructure security, and emergency communications.
CISA works with partners at every level to identify and manage risk to the cyber and physical infrastructure that Americans rely on every hour of every day.
