California's DHS supports the country's largest state Medicaid program with 6.5 million beneficiaries and 40 different managed care plans. With nearly 50 percent of Medicaid beneficiaries enrolled in managed healthcare, CDHS exchanges multiple transactions with these health plans requiring complex data validation and translation processes.
With Pervasive Business Integrator, CDHS staff can quickly design and test data transformations and processes on a workstation and then deploy them as an embedded service on the mainframe for execution on demand. The Pervasive solution allows CDHS to combine existing legacy systems with modern technology so that they can get more out of existing investments. Legacy processes that once required three people to code and maintain are now expected to take just one person a few hours for basic modifications.
"Compliance with complex data standards can be expensive and technically challenging, especially for entities relying on older legacy systems," explained Chip Harmon, general manager of Integration Products at Pervasive. "Pervasive's products span both modern and legacy systems with powerful and reliable data and application integration capabilities so that organizations don't have to replace their legacy systems or deploy scarce technical resources to custom-build data translation solutions."
