How a Major Health System Rebuilt Its IT Workforce Strategy With Revuud
One they could directly control, re-engage, and grow over time.
In large health systems, IT leaders carry an impossible mandate: modernize everything, keep costs in check, and never slow down operations. For a large regional health system in Texas that supports one of the highest patient volumes in the state, that tension had reached a breaking point.
Their digital roadmap was full: EHR optimization, cybersecurity hardening, data architecture improvements, analytics initiatives, operational automation. The work wasn’t slowing down. But their ability to source the right consultants, at the right time, absolutely was.
The Breaking Point
The IT leadership team was stuck managing a consultant ecosystem that no longer served them:
- Agencies charging high markups with little transparency
- Long delays waiting for resumes, interviews, and cleared resources
- No direct relationship with the consultants actually doing the work
- No easy way to re-engage high-performing talent after a project wrapped
Every time a new project was approved, the team had to start from zero… again.
For a system of this size and complexity, that model wasn’t just inefficient. It was unsustainable.
The Turning Point
In November 2023, the health system partnered with Revuud to rethink how IT talent should be sourced and managed.
The CIO’s goal was simple: Build a flexible, dependable workforce—one they could directly control, re-engage, and grow over time.
Revuud made that possible.
Within weeks, their teams began using the platform to:
- Identify and engage consultants directly
- Reconnect with talent who had performed well in the past
- Build curated groups of vetted, trusted resources aligned to key workstreams
- Track everything (SOWs, compliance, time, payments) inside a single platform
And because Revuud removes agency layers entirely, the organization gained visibility, speed, and cost efficiency that simply didn’t exist before.
“Revuud has completely changed how we manage our third-party IT contractors. We’ve gained visibility, control, and significant savings — all while keeping top talent in place to support our critical IT projects.”

What Happened Next
Over the first year, the health system connected with more than 30 consultants through the Revuud platform. Many of these consultants were re-engaged for multiple initiatives, creating continuity that had been impossible under traditional staffing models.
IT leaders now had something they’d never truly had: direct relationships with high-performing consultants who understood their environment, their systems, and their culture.
That institutional knowledge stays within the organization instead of disappearing when a contract ends.
The Impact That Matters to CIOs & CTOs
1. Workforce Control
The organization now manages its own flexible bench of proven IT consultants. Revuud allows them to organize resources by skillset, project type, or operational area—ready to deploy as workstreams evolve.
2. Cost Transparency
With no agency markups, budgets stretch further. The CIO can reinvest savings into strategic initiatives instead of overhead.
3. Project Velocity
Critical work no longer waits on third parties. When a need emerges, their resources are already in place.
4. Continuity & Institutional Knowledge
Re-engaging the same consultants across multiple projects preserves momentum and dramatically reduces ramp time.
5. Built-in Flexibility
Whether scaling up for a major project or shifting into maintenance mode, the organization now adjusts its workforce in real time.
Resource Value
89% of extendable engagements were extended
Cost Efficiency
Anticipated $750K+ in annual savings with an average $30/hour savings
“We built Revuud to give healthcare systems the tools they need to own their contractor relationships — and this organization has done exactly that. Their results are a testament to what’s possible when you put control back in the hands of the customer.”
Dan Schubert, CEO & Co-Founder of Revuud
Why This Shift Matters
For modern IT organizations, especially in healthcare, the ability to build and maintain a flexible, trusted workforce is becoming a strategic advantage. This Texas health system didn’t just fill project gaps; they built a sustainable talent ecosystem that strengthens over time.
And that’s exactly what Revuud is designed for.
The Revuud platform gives CIOs and CTOs a new level of control over their consultant workforce, transforming what was once a reactive, transactional process into a long-term strategic asset.
