This acquisition further rounds out RLDatix’s offerings across governance, risk and compliance (GRC), and enhances the company’s Applied Safety Intelligence™ framework that is shifting healthcare from reactive risk management to proactive prevention.

“The acquisition of Ecteon further demonstrates our leadership in governance, risk and compliance while providing new and exciting functionality to our clients,” said Jeff Surges, CEO, RLDatix. “We are thrilled to welcome this pioneer in contract management into the RLDatix family, who for more than three decades has demonstrated remarkable leadership, customer service and innovation.”

This is a great day for all of our stakeholders.”

Ecteon is the latest contract management provider to be acquired by RLDatix, following the 2019 acquisition of iContracts.

“In a highly regulated industry like healthcare, having tools that can help manage rapidly evolving contracting requirements is essential to providing safer care,” continued Surges. “Together with RLDatix’s already leading contract management capabilities, Ecteon will further enhance our Applied Safety Intelligence framework while driving organizational improvement across the enterprise.”
