In 2024, Nanda led several strategic initiatives that positioned the company for continued innovation and growth, including:
Completing the successful migration of Acentra Health's key products to the cloud. Adopting a microservices-based architecture that allows for independent scaling of an application's discrete system components. Integrating AI-driven approaches to accelerate the software development lifecycle. Developing a platform to unify data from disparate sources for improved analysis and decision-making.
These initiatives have enabled Acentra Health to improve operational efficiencies, accelerate software development cycles, and reduce costs, allowing the company to deliver scalable, secure, and efficient solutions that meet the evolving needs of its healthcare clients.
“I am honored to be recognized by NVTC and to be included among the Tech100's distinguished group of innovative leaders and companies in the tech industry,” said Nanda.“This achievement reflects the shared passion of every Acentra Health employee in contributing to our mission of delivering impactful solutions that improve healthcare outcomes.
