THE PROBLEM
Symplr was great in 2010. The 2026 technology stack is fundamentally different.
Cactus, IntelliCred, IntelliApp, IntelliSoft — then add disparate systems across a Merger & Acquisitions graveyard.
Symplr's portfolio grew through acquisition, leaving clients to bridge legacy databases, redundant data entry, and 9-18-month implementations across products that don't share an architecture. CertifyOS replaces it with one modern API-first platform: 90-day go-live, lower TCO, and credentialing + onboarding + PDM in a single workflow.
Five reasons plans switch from Symplr.
90-day implementation
Contract to first credentialed file in 90 days vs. Symplr's typical 9-18 month implementation. Faster value, lower switching cost.
API-first architecture
Modern integrations with NPDB, CAQH, NPPES, OIG, SAM, and payer portals. No Cactus database lock-in. No screen-scraping or RPA bots.
End-to-end on one platform
PSV, committee, payer onboarding, PDM, and monitoring in one workflow. Replace Symplr's stitched-together M&A portfolio with a single source of truth.
Lower TCO
Lower total cost of ownership than Symplr at comparable provider volume. Less integration overhead, less per-product licensing, less internal headcount required.
White-glove migration
Migration sprint with parallel processing and zero missed cycles. We've moved health plans off Cactus and the broader Symplr stack without provider disruption.
