Ultimo Expands Its Presence in the US Market with FSI Software Acquisition

Ultimo's Strategic Move in the US Market

In a significant step towards expanding its influence in the American market, Ultimo, a leader in AI-enhanced enterprise asset management (EAM) software, has officially acquired FSI, a notable player in healthcare facilities and technology management software based in the U.S. This acquisition is Ultimo's second in the United States within a year and its third overall since 2024, showcasing a robust commitment to enhancing its presence in this vital region.

The acquisition of FSI is particularly significant as it aligns with Ultimo’s strategic vision to innovate and optimize asset management in the healthcare sector. FSI boasts a unique computerized maintenance management system (CMMS) tailored specifically for healthcare service professionals, which has proven essential for over a thousand departments across hospitals, healthcare systems, and educational institutions. As healthcare facilities increasingly face pressure to digitize operations and maintain compliance, the integration of FSI’s capabilities with Ultimo's advanced EAM solutions promises to enhance asset performance, which is directly linked to patient care outcomes.

Steven Elsham, the CEO of Ultimo, emphasized the urgency in the healthcare sector to improve digital processes and overall operational efficacy. He stated, “Hospitals and healthcare operators are under pressure to digitize fast, stay compliant, and drive down risk in environments where asset performance directly impacts patient care.” By merging FSI's respected expertise with Ultimo's cutting-edge technology and AI-first vision, the collaboration aims to empower healthcare professionals with the data and tools necessary to manage their assets more effectively, thus reducing operational challenges and enhancing patient care.

This acquisition builds upon Ultimo's established leadership in healthcare asset management, primarily rooted in the Netherlands and Belgium. By solidifying its foothold in the U.S., Ultimo aims to tap into the asset-intensive industries, leveraging FSI’s established relationships and expert knowledge.

Continuing with its commitment to innovation, Ultimo will focus on providing stability and forward-thinking solutions to FSI's existing customers. As Zachary Seely, the CEO of FSI pointed out, “This is an exciting new chapter for FSI and its customers as we accelerate investment in solutions that equip customers to tackle regulatory complexity, drive operational efficiency, and accelerate digital transformation.” With access to Ultimo’s AI-driven roadmap, customers can anticipate advanced functionalities that elevate their operational frameworks.

Moreover, Ultimo’s recent accolades further affirm its market credibility. The company was acknowledged as a leader in the Verdantix Green Quadrant® EAM Software Report, receiving high rankings for market momentum and product capability. Additionally, Ultimo earned the Gartner Peer Insights’ Customers’ Choice designation, reflecting positive feedback from users regarding its EAM solutions as part of the IFS offerings.

The deal has been finalized, and Ultimo aims for a seamless transition for FSI's clients, ensuring they benefit from both Ultimo's extensive resources and innovative strategies. As Ultimo embarks on this new venture, the focus remains on fostering growth and enhancing technological solutions that foster a new era of healthcare management.
