That thing is actually mostly designed by HP and RedHat, had really weird design choices and wasn't cheap either.

In my opinion none of them were capable of designing a user facing application. It was also built as a client/server desktop application. Not really a good choice in my opinion. Sure there were no offline PWA at the time, but by contrast if your SAP backend dies all the local applications in a hospital e.g. writing the release report also dies.

Needless to say given it's immense complexity it was also impossible to use this monstrosity elsewhere.

But replacing it with Cerner in a $16bn project is just sad.
