Emerging players

• TigerConnect: TigerConnect is a clinical collaboration and secure messaging platform competing for VA and large hospital system deployments in the same product category as SCI's CCS offering. Comparable as a clinical communications platform vendor.
• Rauland-Borg (AMETEK): Rauland is a leading manufacturer of enterprise nurse call and clinical workflow systems deployed across VA medical centers. Comparable as a product peer whose nurse call solutions SCI configures, integrates, and supports at 350+ VA installations.
• Spok Holdings (Spok Care Connect): Spok provides the clinical communication and care team collaboration platform that SCI resells and integrates into its CCS offering. Comparable at the product level for nurse call and secure clinical communications, though SCI is a partner/integrator rather than direct competitor.

Broad incumbents
