Hawaiian Health Insurer Makes Use Of More MicroStrategy Wares

05/05/2004

MicroStrategy (NASDAQ: MSTR), the provider of business intelligence software, says the Hawaii Medical Service Association (HMSA) has expanded the deployment of the MicroStrategy Business Intelligence Platform for enterprise reporting and analysis. Founded in 1938, the Hawaii Medical Service Association is a nonprofit, mutual benefit society and a member of the Blue Cross and Blue Shield Association, an association of independent Blue Cross and Blue Shield plans.



Standardized on MicroStrategy since 2001, HMSA is expanding its MicroStrategy deployment to include MicroStrategy Report Services, and has purchased a new subscription to MicroStrategy’s Technical Advisory Services (TAS), a program that enables its subscribers to tap into best practices in business intelligence. Against a multi-terabyte IBM DB2 database, healthcare and financial analysts utilize the MicroStrategy platform to track and assess business data across clinical and financial areas to provide users with greater insight into the company’s benefit costs.

“We’re pleased to finalize our selection of MicroStrategy as our key platform for delivering BI solutions and excited about the commitment MicroStrategy has made to helping us ensure that we deliver clear value from the actionable information derived from our databases,” said Gordon Hilton, CIO of Hawaii Medical Service Association. “We’re pleased that HMSA is achieving success and continues to widen its deployment of the MicroStrategy platform,” said MicroStrategy’s COO Sanju K. Bansal. “This is a true testament of MicroStrategy’s industrial-strength technology providing companies with added visibility into their operations to make important revenue-generating decisions. MicroStrategy is well suited to cost-effectively meet the unique regulatory, privacy, and data-volume requirements of the healthcare industry.”
