KLAS Explains Why Cloud Confusion Is Slowing Down Enterprise Imaging

KLAS Explains Why Cloud Confusion Is Slowing Down Enterprise Imaging

Author: John Lynn January 6, 2026 Duration: 23:05

Cloud imaging should feel like a clear next step, yet most teams still can’t agree on what “cloud strategy” actually means.

In this interview, Monique Rasband, Vice President of Strategy & Research for Imaging and Oncology at KLAS Research, breaks down what she’s hearing directly from providers in the new KLAS Enterprise Imaging 2025 Report. We talk about why cloud adoption is speeding up, why some vendors are falling behind, and why the market is seeing one of the most active replacement cycles in years.

Rasband discusses the choices CIOs are wrestling with, the pressure remote reading is putting on legacy systems, and the surprising trend of providers who thought they were “behind” but are actually moving faster than expected.

What’s your cloud imaging experience been like? Are your systems aligned or still speaking different languages?
