Case Study: Aetna achieves 13x ROI with Asana AI-powered portfolio governance

Aetna achieves 13x ROI with Asana AI Studio in 4 months

Aetna, a CVS Health company, faced significant challenges in its Medicaid Strategic Project Management Office with manual, Excel-based project tracking. This process created bottlenecks, led to subjective project prioritization, and resulted in reporting fatigue, making it difficult to scale operations. To address this, Aetna partnered with Asana and leveraged its AI Studio to build an AI-powered intake and execution engine.

The solution implemented by Asana automated key workflows, including intake prioritization, risk (RAID) management, and status reporting. This transformation delivered a 13x return on investment, generating $596,230 in value within just four months. The results included $400,000 in operational costs avoided, $140,000 in risk avoidance, and the reclamation of 468 annual hours for leadership by reducing manual tasks by 90%.
