Why Sri Lanka for healthtech companies
Sri Lankan engineers already work on regulated healthcare systems for Norway, the United States and Australia. Creative Software has spent years as an engineering partner to DIPS, Norway's largest health records provider, and HealthRecon Connect runs HITRUST certified revenue operations for US healthcare providers from Colombo. Healthtech companies come here for engineers who are used to patient data, audits and long product lifecycles.

A track record with regulated data
Healthcare buyers ask about compliance first. The companies we have reported on hold HITRUST, SOC 1 and ISO 27001 certifications and have passed years of client audits. That experience sits with the engineers, and it moves with them into new teams.
Long partnerships, low churn
Health software is built over decades. Creative Software's Scandinavian clients flew to Colombo for its 25th anniversary. Teams here are set up to stay on a product for years, which is what a clinical system needs.
