Navigating the Shift: Mirth Open Source to Proprietary

If you’ve relied on Mirth Connect as a free, open-source integration engine, the recent transition to a proprietary model in version 4.6 may raise questions. You're not alone, many healthcare IT teams are reassessing their strategy.

KPi-Tech specializes in HL7 integration to support seamless healthcare interoperability. We’ve used Mirth Connect to integrate labs, clinics, hospitals, and practice management systems. Our team transforms non-standard data into HL7-compliant formats for smooth data exchange. With years of experience, we don’t just build interfaces we guide you through the evolving Mirth landscape. Whether you're staying on open-source or moving to licensed Mirth 4.6, we guide you through every step and keep your systems running without disruption.
