Implementation services · Legacy data migration & archiving
Harmony Healthcare IT
Harmony Healthcare IT extracts and migrates data from legacy healthcare systems and stores it in a cloud archive used for record lookups, release of information, and A/R wind down after systems are retired.
Strong fit
- Health systems retiring old EHR, ERP, and departmental systems after a move to Epic, Oracle Health, or another platform
- Organizations that must keep old records available to release to requesters, look up for care, and finish collecting old A/R
- Systems after mergers with many overlapping applications
Weak fit
- Buyers who need consultants to build and run a new EHR
- Small clinics with one old system and few records
- Buyers who need a published price list
Bottom line
Harmony Healthcare IT is worth using for health systems that want to switch off old applications after an EHR move or merger and stop paying to keep them running. It suits organizations that still need to look up old records and finish old accounts. Buyers who mainly need EHR implementation consultants should look elsewhere.

Harmony Healthcare IT, based in South Bend, Indiana, pulls data out of old clinical, financial, and administrative systems. It keeps that data in HealthData Archiver, a HITRUST-certified cloud archive.
Staff use the archive to look up records, release information, and work down old accounts receivable. Cold storage covers records that rarely need access. The company has moved data from more than 715 software brands.
Tom Liddell, who earlier co-founded the health technology firm SMI and held senior roles at WebMD, founded Harmony in 2006. Novacap invested in 2023 and is its majority investor.
Brian Liddell, formerly president and chief financial officer, succeeded Tom as CEO on April 30, 2026. Tom stayed on as chairman.
The company has served more than 550 healthcare organizations, and KLAS Research ranks it among the top three data archiving vendors. In the KLAS 2024 archiving report, its customers gave it A grades across all six customer experience pillars.
Parkview Health saw a return on its archiving work in about 18 months. An academic medical center has set up 72 archives with 30 more underway, saving tens of millions of dollars.
Main Line Health used Harmony to retire more than 50 applications after moving from Cerner to Epic. Glencoe Regional Health shut down its Healthland system on time and on budget.
Other firms fit different stages of an EHR change. Nordic or Tegria suit organizations that mainly need consultants to set up and improve Epic. MedSys Group suits work centered on Oracle Health.
Stoltenberg Consulting suits buyers who want ongoing EHR support and flexible staffing. Divurgent suits buyers who want a mid-sized partner to lead the EHR change itself.
