As a major force in the healthcare industry, Express Scripts by Evernorth operates on a massive scale. The company's success relies on its ability to manage and utilize vast amounts of data securely and efficiently. To maintain its competitive edge and drive innovation, Express Scripts required a robust data solution capable of supporting its strategic growth initiatives and complex technology footprint.
The Challenge: Overcoming Stagnant & Inefficient Data Processes
Before implementing Perforce Delphix, a strategic growth division at Express Scripts faced significant data-related obstacles that hindered progress. Their existing processes were slow and resource-intensive, and the organization struggled with:
Stagnant Data: Data refreshes were performed only once a year due to complex homegrown processes.
Manual Masking: In-house data masking was slow and inefficient, with a full refresh and mask cycle taking two weeks.
Development Bottlenecks: Software engineering and data science teams lacked timely access to fresh, compliant data, delaying the development of new solutions and the monetization of data.
These challenges made it impossible to keep pace with business demands, especially for a high-margin, strategic line of business.
The Results: Greater Speed, Efficiency, and Innovation
The implementation of Perforce Delphix has delivered significant benefits, enabling Express Scripts by Evernorth to innovate faster and more effectively.
Increased Velocity: Development teams now operate with unprecedented speed, delivering more value to the organization.
Improved Efficiency: By automating non-value-add tasks, teams can focus on strategic initiatives that drive business growth.
Greater Job Satisfaction: Access to better tools and more efficient processes has led to higher satisfaction and engagement among developers and data scientists.
Continuous Innovation: The success of Delphix has inspired new use cases across the organization, with more teams looking to leverage data virtualization and integrated masking to solve their unique business challenges.
Thanks to Delphix, Express Scripts by Evernorth gained access to fresh, compliant data and laid a strong foundation for ongoing business growth. See how you can also reap the same benefits with Delphix’s help.
