- Healthcare Information Systems are still all the buzz. The VC's I'm talking to hint that a big name like a McKesson, Cerner, Epic, or Medi-tech may make the move or be the target. One could even expect the acquirer to be a Big 4 vendor.
- SaaS Integration vendors may be the next big area for M&A. As customers struggle for seamless hybrid integration, vendors are looking for the best integration tools.
