Case Study: Partnership HealthPlan of California automates core insurance processes and saves $200,000 annually with Advanced Systems Concepts, Inc.'s ActiveBatch

Partnership HealthPlan of CaliforniaTurns to ActiveBatch to Automate Core Insurance Policies, Save Money and Allow IT to Speak “One Common Code”

Partnership HealthPlan of California (PHC), which provides Medi‑Cal and related coverage to about 180,000 members across Northern California, needed to modernize its legacy COBOL systems and centralize job scheduling as it migrated to UNIX and faced a large increase in job volume. To address this, PHC selected ActiveBatch Enterprise Job Scheduling and Workload Automation from Advanced Systems Concepts, Inc. to replace an unsustainable homegrown scheduler and streamline complex, custom scripts.

Advanced Systems Concepts, Inc.’s ActiveBatch encapsulated thousands of lines of custom code into reusable job templates and workflows, added dependency handling, real‑time operations and alerting, and made recovery and incremental fixes far simpler. The solution enabled PHC to manage nearly 500 nightly jobs, accelerate migration to PL/SQL/Java, reduce maintenance overhead and avoid hiring two to three additional staff—saving approximately $200,000 per year—while improving day‑to‑day automation and visibility.
