Microsoft’s acquisition of Sentillion, the front runner in Single Sign On products in the health care market, just adds another log to the fire of the largest IT organizations.
It is very clear that Microsoft, Cisco, HP, IBM, Google, and Dell have all decided that the health care market is ripe for takeover.

Perot Systems, McKesson, Meditech, Cerner, and many others have all felt some direct influence from the big boys of IT.
