Milwaukee's healthcare and financial technology market — anchored by Froedtert's academic medicine, Northwestern Mutual's life insurance leadership, and Wisconsin's complex BadgerCare managed care environment — creates technology opportunities spanning clinical research to wealth management.
The Milwaukee Healthcare and Fintech Technology Challenge
Froedtert Health's partnership with the Medical College of Wisconsin creates technology demands that span clinical care, graduate medical education, and research — three different workflows with different data governance requirements that must coexist within the same Epic environment. Northwestern Mutual's transformation from a traditional mutual insurance company to a modern wealth management platform requires technology partners who understand both the obligations of a mutual company to policyholders and the innovation expectations of a modern wealth management client base. Wisconsin's BadgerCare managed care model creates compliance technology needs that reflect Wisconsin DHS's distinctive approach to Medicaid managed care.
