Case Study: Michigan's Largest Healthcare Provider achieves faster impact analysis and consistent definitions with OvalEdge

Michigan's Largest Healthcare Provider - Customer Case Study

A large healthcare provider in Michigan, which uses the Epic system for its electronic medical records, faced two major challenges. The organization struggled with lengthy, manual impact analysis required for its quarterly Epic upgrades, which risked disrupting its many custom downstream systems and reports. It also suffered from inconsistent business definitions and KPIs due to its history of acquisitions, preventing effective data comparison across units. To address this, they turned to the data governance capabilities of OvalEdge.

OvalEdge implemented its automated data lineage solution, which crawled the client's various data sources including Epic, Clarity, QlikView, Tableau, and SAP Business Objects. This built a complete view of data flow from source systems to reporting software. As a result, the time required for impact analysis was reduced to a fraction of what it was previously. The OvalEdge solution also provided the foundation for a comprehensive data governance program to establish consistent definitions across the organization.
