Joe Ranney, formerly a Global Works (GW) engineer at Optum, has joined CureIS Healthcare to oversee support and transition for customers impacted by the decision to discontinue the GW software suite.

With Optum ending support in December 2025, CureIS is offering a roadmap to help organizations maximize their existing GW investment by extending the product’s life while evaluating options for replacement. Comprehensive services include ticketed technical support, patches and optimization, custom engineering, consultancy, and transition.

“Our message to GW customers is, we’ve got your back,” said CureIS CEO, Chris Sawotin. “Bringing Joe on board not only ensures business continuity for our own GW-using clients but also allows us to extend his expertise to other organizations needing to bridge the gap as they plan their long-term transition.”

Ranney, an original GW systems engineer and trusted advisor to long-term GW customers, moved to Optum when the company was acquired in 2008. Reflecting on his move to CureIS, Ranney said he is looking forward to supporting customers he’s worked with for many years while providing the most flexible and innovative solutions for their future needs.
