Case Study: Health Insurance Provider achieves secure payment API scalability with Akana

Health Insurance Provider - Customer Case Study

The Health Insurance Provider, the largest insurer in its state, was struggling to securely scale its payment APIs, which slowed transaction processing across its more than $10 billion business. As a payer, it needed to provide high-volume external access to legacy Blue Cross payments systems, but its older IBM WebSphere DataPower- and WSDL-based environment could not keep up with new Affordable Care Act requirements.

The Health Insurance Provider selected Akana API Gateway to improve security, scalability, and integration with its legacy IT environment. With Akana, it can now scale payment APIs securely, comply with HIPAA and Affordable Care Act rules, and more efficiently process transactions and payments, reducing delays in the payment cycle.
