Updated August 2026. If you went looking for CastleBranch or myCB and landed on a site called DISA Healthcare Technology, nothing is broken. Three companies that health science programs dealt with separately are now one. This page lays out what happened, in order, and what it actually changes for your program.
Full transparency: we build Rotation Manager, which competes with some of the platforms mentioned here. The timeline below comes from company press releases and the vendors’ own websites, and we have kept it factual.
The short answer: CastleBranch was acquired by DISA Global Solutions and has been rebranded to DISA Healthcare Technology. Complio, which was always an American DataBank product and never a CastleBranch one, came under the same parent when DISA acquired American DataBank. Both platforms continue to operate and your logins still work. The one genuinely new development is that the combined company now sells clinical placement and rotation management, which it did not before.
The timeline, in order
| When | What happened |
|---|---|
| March 1, 2024 | DISA Global Solutions acquired CastleBranch’s background screening and compliance services business. CastleBranch’s clinical experience platform was deliberately excluded from the sale and spun out separately as Bridges EXP. |
| February 2025 | DISA acquired American DataBank, the Denver company founded in the late 1990s that built Complio. At the same time DISA launched a dedicated Healthcare Technology division. |
| June 30, 2026 | Bridges EXP ceased operations entirely. Unlike the others, this one was a genuine shutdown. |
| 2026 | The CastleBranch name was formally retired. Schools and students were moved to DISA Healthcare Technology at disahealthcare.com. |
The single most common misconception worth correcting: Complio was never a CastleBranch product. American DataBank built it and ran it independently for more than two decades. CastleBranch and Complio were competitors. They only became siblings because the same buyer purchased both, eleven months apart.
If you are a student, this is the whole answer
Your login still works. Your uploaded documents are still there. The requirements your program set, immunizations, titers, TB tests, background check, drug screen, have not changed because of any of this. The site has a new name and a new logo. If you have saved bookmarks or email filters pointing at the old domain, update those. That is the extent of it. For anything account-specific, go to the vendor’s support page rather than your school, since the school does not administer the platform.
If you run a program, here is what actually matters
What did not change
Being honest about this first, because plenty of coverage online implies more upheaval than occurred. The compliance platforms continue to operate. Logins, records, integrations, and reporting tools carried over. The support staff largely stayed. A rebrand following an acquisition is not a shutdown, and if your compliance tracking is working, this news by itself is not a reason to change vendors.
What did change, and it is not trivial
Three things worth registering.
- Your vendor is now a private equity backed conglomerate. DISA is a portfolio company of Audax Private Equity, and healthcare education compliance is one division inside a much larger workplace screening business that also serves trucking, energy, and manufacturing. That is a different institution than the independent, education-focused company you originally signed with. It is not automatically worse. It does mean the roadmap is set further from your program.
- Two competing products now sit under one roof. CastleBranch’s platform and Complio solved overlapping problems for the same buyers. Companies that acquire direct competitors eventually consolidate them. Nobody has announced that, and it may not happen soon, but if you are signing a multi-year renewal, ask which platform is the long-term one in writing.
- The combined company now sells placement and rotation management. This is the genuinely new capability, and it is the one most programs have not noticed.
The part most programs missed
Before these acquisitions, this vendor sold you compliance documents and background checks. It now markets clinical placement and rotation management as a product line, and it lists integration partnerships with a range of placement platforms including Typhon, myClinicalExchange, CORE and PeopleGrove, InPlace, and Trajecsys.
Read that as a strategy. A compliance vendor that already holds the student document records is moving toward the placement workflow that sits on top of them. If your program uses one vendor for compliance and another for placements, expect a consolidation pitch at your next renewal.
That pitch may be right for you. Fewer vendors and one invoice has real value. But evaluate it as a platform decision, not a paperwork upgrade, and ask who actually built the rotation scheduling you would be adopting.
Questions worth asking your rep in writing
- Which platform is the long-term product, and what is the roadmap for the other one?
- Do our contract terms, pricing, and data ownership terms change under the new entity?
- What are the export formats and timelines if we leave, and can we run a test export while under contract?
- Who supports us day to day now, and is that the same team as before?
- If we add placement and rotation management, is that built in house or delivered through an integration partner?
Vague answers to any of these are themselves information. Good answers mean you can stop worrying about the rebrand and get back to work.
Where Rotation Manager fits, and where it does not
Rotation Manager is clinical rotation scheduling and compliance software for nursing schools, allied health programs, and the health systems that host their students. It covers both jobs in one system: the compliance documents with expiration tracking and automated reminders, integrated background checks and drug testing, and the rotation scheduling and hospital-side visibility around them.
The proof points are public. Duke University’s Nurse Anesthesia Program provided a signed reference after four years on the platform, citing credential tracking, audit readiness, and reduced administrative risk. And in a published case study, a large clinical rotation network cut placement administration workload by 27 percent.
Where a document tracking vendor fits better: if compliance paperwork is genuinely your only problem, your placements are already coordinated smoothly, and hospital partners are not asking for anything, a dedicated compliance platform does that job and you do not need a placement system.
Where we fit better: when the compliance documents and the placements are the same problem wearing two hats, which is usually the case, and your coordinators are the manual bridge between them.

Frequently Asked Questions
The name has been retired. The business continues as DISA Healthcare Technology, and the company states that logins, compliance records, integrations, and reporting are unaffected. This is a rebrand following an acquisition, not a shutdown.
No, and this is the most common mix-up. Complio was built by American DataBank, an independent Denver company, and the two were competitors for years. They share a parent now only because DISA acquired both.
No announcement has been made to that effect and the platform continues to operate. That said, when one company owns two products that compete for the same buyers, asking about long-term roadmap before a multi-year renewal is ordinary diligence.
Connected but distinct. Bridges was carved out of the 2024 CastleBranch sale, operated separately as Bridges EXP, and then ceased operations on June 30, 2026. That was a real shutdown, unlike the rebrand. See what happened to Bridges EXP and what programs moved to.
Not on the strength of a name change. Get the roadmap, contract, and support answers in writing. If they hold up and your compliance tracking works, stay. Renewal time is the right moment to reassess, not today.
If compliance and placements are two systems held together by your coordinators, that is the gap Rotation Manager closes.
