Case Study: Texas Health and Human Services achieves timely agency consolidation and enterprise data governance with Informatica

HHS establishes a Data Governance program to transform from its five agency structure to three agencies

Informatica partnered with the Texas Health and Human Services (HHS) System as the state prepared to consolidate five agencies into three under a 2015 legislative mandate. HHS faced a massive data challenge: hundreds of disparate, siloed IT systems (including large Medicaid and CHIP platforms serving over 4.2 million clients), no centralized data asset catalogue, and extremely high-volume transactional systems — all needing integration and governance ahead of the September 1, 2017 deadline.

Using Informatica’s Intelligent Data Platform — including MDM, PowerCenter, Data Quality, address verification, geocoding and professional services — HHS established an enterprise data governance program and a master data management initiative. The work put HHS on track to meet the consolidation deadline, produced a 200‑item data asset inventory with executive metrics, and advanced the HHS Insights Project (initial release mid‑2016) to better identify client services, support program improvements, and enable risk and compliance analysis.
