The Client
The US-based healthcare technology provider operates in over 150 countries, developing innovative solutions for complex medical conditions. Their products include medical devices and therapies for cardiac, diabetes, neurological, and surgical technologies.
The Challenge
With multiple recent acquisitions, the client expanded its reach and offerings. However, integrating acquired entities seamlessly into existing operations required efficient business integration.
The client’s diverse product portfolio resulted in multiple internal systems, each managing its own data and creating data silos that limited information flow and collaboration. Standardizing data formats and structures became difficult, leading to inconsistencies and inaccuracies. Redundant processes, delayed data access and manual data reconciliation slowed operations and hindered timely decision-making.
The client also needed to integrate its acquired entities into existing systems, which was a complex and time-consuming task. It could potentially disrupt operations and delay the realization of benefits. Besides, the client had to comply with regulations in 150+ countries for global data operations.
The Solution
The client’s complex operations and ambitious goals called for a robust business integration solution. The client selected Persistent for our extensive implementation expertise to unify their data landscape, optimize dataflows, and enable smoother collaboration. Persistent implemented a Digital Business Platform powered by webMethods to synergize their operations.
The Digital Business Platform offers a comprehensive suite of pre-built solutions and accelerators specifically designed for specific industries, including healthcare. It leverages the core capabilities of webMethods, such as data integration, application integration and messaging, B2B and managed file transfer, API management and process automation, to streamline and automate business processes.
The Outcome
Business integration using webMethods has helped the client to improve operational efficiency by streamlining processes and automating tasks. Streamlined workflows and automated tasks also helped increase processing speeds by 200%, enabling 30 transactions per second as opposed to 10 previously. The client witnessed a 300% increase in transaction volumes because of the increased operational efficiency.
The scalable and reliable infrastructure, along with its flexible message routing capabilities, helped in real-time messaging between applications at twice the original speed, ensuring everyone had access to the latest information required for decision-making.
Implementing webMethods has enabled the client to save $150,000 for every $1,000,000 of project cost.
