In the critical world of healthcare services, efficiency and accuracy are paramount. For a leading American health services company catering to the healthcare needs of over 100 million individuals and managing a workforce of more than 100,000 associates, a strategic approach to optimizing IT operations is necessary.
Recognizing the benefits of outsourcing critical elements of its IT infrastructure, the organization embarked on a transformative journey to enhance operational efficiency and streamline processes.
However, during this transition, they encountered a pivotal challenge: the need for comprehensive data visibility to govern their strategic relationship with the outsourced provider effectively.

Ensuring transparency and visibility of key performance and capacity metrics across diverse data centers, multi-vendor platforms, hosted systems, and service providers was a concern.
