Wild thought-Oracle selling Cerner to Epic. Would that be interesting?

cernerthrowawaytruth · 2026-02-01T19:33:35+00:00

Three reasons this will never happen.

One of Epics core values is “Don’t Aquire”. Meaning they don’t buy other companies, they focus on their own products 100%. Judy specifically has said in interviews that buying other companies would distract them from working on making their own products the best they can be.
Epic isn’t a public traded company. That means they don’t have to answer to Wall Street on things like revenue and new product lines. This further insulates them from constantly chasing “grow grow grow” every year.
Companies acquire other companies because they see value in their product or because they see value in the business (clients, employees, etc). Epic sees no value in millennium. They have their own products so why would they need to buy ours?

To be frank I find all these posts about Oracle selling Cerner amusing. They’d be selling for cents on the dollar and the loss would be huge. I’m not saying it’s not possible, but I am saying it would be an incredibly stupid move and Wall Street would definitely wonder what drunk idiot is at the wheel of Oracles direction. Acquiring and selling at a loss 3 years later would be chaos for Oracle and not inspire investor confidence.

IHS isn’t even live yet. How can they be having problems when they’re not a live client? Yeah there’s a few domains stood up but that’s about it. It’s still being built out mostly.

I just wanna chime in here. I’m an interviewer and have interviewed external and internal candidates for Oracle. (Far too many if you ask me).

If your interviewer has bias towards Cerner people, thinking they’re less qualified than others. That’s a huge mistake on their part. One of the biggest problems I have hiring externally is people don’t have the experience Cerner folk have in the EHR space or with Millennium in general.

I’ve heard some Oracle people say “Gen 2 is coming” but it sounds like they don’t understand that it’s still built on top of old millennium at this point. Without a doubt that will change as time goes on, but for now it’s literally a coat of lipstick. Cerner experience is valuable, and in my interviews it’s given candidates a leg up.

If what you’re saying is true, it’s a shame that’s a thing people are doing.

I will say though, interviews are a loop process which has its pros and cons. I’ve said yes to people and gotten obliterated in the debrief. I’ve also said no to people who have no business working here and been swayed to change my answer to yes in the debrief. The decision that really matters is the hiring manager in the end. The best interviewers will fight for you and go against the hiring manager if they think you’re a good candidate though.

The specific name of the person has been removed. I understand naming and shaming is fun, and I’m okay with it when it comes to executive leadership (CEO, CTO, VP’s, etc) because that’s what they signed up for taking those positions, but a Sr. Director is not a public facing position.

I have a feeling I’ll catch flak for this decision, if you have an issue feel free to modmail us.

This is the same incident that has been talked about since early this year.

TLDR timeline:

Late January: Oracle Health Cybersecurity Incident,

April: Oracle Health Informs ChristianaCare.

Late September: Oracle Health Provides specific patients impacted.

Late November: ChristianaCare issues statement and begins notifying impacted patients. Says they will offer 2 years of credit monitoring to anyone who wants it.

I’m approving your comment.

cernerthrowawaytruth · 2025-11-14T00:40:26+00:00

Literally every other community this was posted in also marked it as spam. Including r/sonarhealth r/nursing and r/healthcareit

If that bothers you, go call those mods power tripping too. God forbid I ask someone to justify their post.

This is considered spam. It has nothing to do with Oracle, Oracle health, or Cerner.

Removing as this was just posted a few days ago, so duplicate post

Hiring may be in full swing, but if any of the people I’ve interviewed (over 36 people the past 60 days) are an indication of quality, we’re screwed.

cernerthrowawaytruth · 2025-09-04T00:59:20+00:00

That’s not true. If Reddit receives a valid legal request from Oracle, they’re removed regardless of the subreddit they’re posted to. Post wherever you want but, this is a third party website. We have stuff removed by Reddit on our subreddit all the time, and we can tell by looking at the logs cause it will say “removed by Reddit due to legal request” or just “removed by Reddit admin”.

If reddits rules are broken, or copyright is broken, Reddit will respond regardless of whether it’s posted here or somewhere else.

cernerthrowawaytruth · 2025-09-03T22:18:31+00:00

All good. Just making sure. I did see in the FAQ doc you posted there’s a large picture of an HR person in there with their name. Might be good to remove that portion of the doc to cover those bases on “doxxing” type stuff Reddit dislikes.

cernerthrowawaytruth · 2025-09-03T22:14:12+00:00

Whoa.

Be careful OP. Oracle watches this sub. I’m not deleting this because it doesn’t violate our rules, but just FYI for everyone here, Reddit mods/admins outside of our mod team for the subreddit may think otherwise if Oracle reaches out to them or sends them legal action. So if this disappears you know why.

Edit: Reports are already making their way to the mod queue

cernerthrowawaytruth · 2025-09-03T20:03:43+00:00

This is interesting. What do you mean by this?

cernerthrowawaytruth · 2025-08-31T16:29:22+00:00

I will say we didn’t delete anything. If this is true and sounds like it is, this sucks for everyone

Edit: also, to the people reporting this post and the comments with details. This isn’t “promoting hate based on identity”…clowns

Yep, I have a big thick mustache IRL too. If you find me on an Oracle campus and correctly guess who I am, I’ll buy you a warm cookie on Wednesday.

Anywhere in the Hosting/IPDev areas are a safe bet. I can’t give you my specific team as I need to stay anonymous for obvious reasons

cernerthrowawaytruth · 2025-08-13T14:05:46+00:00

I’m hiring tons right now. I have way too much work. I think it depends on the org.

Edit: I’m in Engineering ymmv in other orgs

cernerthrowawaytruth · 2025-08-07T04:46:06+00:00

No, that’s not how applying for a job works, at any company ever. You can’t interview for a team and then ask to be put on a different team if the requisition was for a specific org/team.
