Case Study: a Midwest regional health plan unifies 359M claims records with Argano’s Data 360 zero-copy integration

Midwest regional health plan eliminates 250 GB of storage with Argano

A Midwest regional health plan serving over four million members faced a significant data architecture problem with its 359 million claims records. The use of Salesforce External Objects to surface data from its HealthEdge system was causing unsustainable licensing costs and performance issues at scale. This setup also prevented a unified view of claims data across its member, provider, and employee portals and created governance gaps. To address this, the health plan partnered with Argano.

Argano deployed its Data 360 solution to create a zero-copy integration, connecting directly to the health plan's Azure PostgreSQL database without migrating any data. This new architecture eliminated all 250 GB of Salesforce storage and the associated query costs. The result was a single, governed source of truth for claims data, providing a unified view across all portals for the first time while closing critical compliance gaps.
