Infosys is making significant strategic moves with the acquisition of two United States-based firms, Optimum Healthcare IT and Stratus.

The acquisition of Optimum Healthcare IT is particularly aimed at strengthening Infosys' ability to provide advanced digital solutions to hospitals and healthcare providers.
