Case Study: Washington State Department of Health achieves self-service analytics and 25% faster data prep with Alteryx

Washington State Department of Health Analyzes Data for a Healthier World

The Washington State Department of Health needed to move analytics to the cloud quickly during COVID-19, but legacy systems, fragmented data sources, and heavy manual cleaning made it hard to turn data into timely public health insight. The agency looked to Alteryx and its Designer Cloud product to help analysts work with large, complex datasets more efficiently without relying so heavily on IT.

Alteryx implemented Designer Cloud within the department’s CEDAR platform on Microsoft Azure, enabling teams to clean, standardize, and transform data in the cloud and build reusable data pipelines. The result was a more self-service, collaborative analytics process, with analysts spending 25% less time on data preparation and the agency gaining faster access to analytics-ready datasets for decision-making.
