Sentillion offered specialized expertise in identity management and clinical software that could be bundled with HP's infrastructure hardware and software solutions. This integration enabled HP to deliver comprehensive, end-to-end healthcare solutions that increased its market competitiveness and differentiated its offerings in a crowded marketplace. Moreover, Sentillion's solutions helped HP establish a stronger presence in the rapidly growing healthcare sector by addressing the critical needs of data security, interoperability, and streamlined clinical workflows, ultimately driving mutual growth and strategic value.

The human capital consisted of highly skilled professionals like Rob Seliger and John Douglass, who brought deep expertise in healthcare technology, business innovation, and customer needs analysis. These experts were instrumental in developing a versatile software platform tailored to the unique demands of healthcare providers. Collaborations with industry leaders and cross-company alliances created a robust ecosystem that generated multiple revenue streams and fostered market acceptance. Beyond human resources, intangible assets such as accumulated technical knowledge, system integrations expertise, and customer demand insights formed the foundation of Sentillion’s competitive advantage. These resources collectively enabled the company to innovate continuously, adapt to evolving healthcare standards, and sustain a leadership position in healthcare IT solutions.
