Impact stories

Launching a health services provider data portal in 3 months

A large, US-based health services provider was not capturing potential revenue from a wealth of shareable data 

The challenge

Facing competitive and customer pressure​ to deliver more and higher quality data

Complex legacy IT delivery​ processes meant slow time to market

Complicated infrastructure and corporate processes​ made development and delivery difficult, often taking months

Existing data processes​ were neither well-understood nor documented

Data governance​ was not well-defined, making sourcing data difficult and time consuming

The journey

  • Within 3 months, we built an end-to-end Data as a Service business from the ground up
  • Established strategy and initial requirements for additional upsell data offerings for delivery in next calendar year
  • Developed strategy and executed business plan​ across all relevant functions (technology, operations, sales, etc.)
  • User first mentality​ leveraging design thinking ensured a world class customer experience from end-to-end
  • Security upfront mindset​ ensuring vulnerabilities, privacy, and data protection laws were adhered to as part of initial design
  • Partnered with client innovation lab​ for rapid agile delivery and capability-building across product, design, technology
  • Launched new Data as a Service business within 13 weeks​ including time to test with beta clients to minimize risk at public launch
  • Built key client capabilities​ to operate and scale business based on best practice and access to global experts
