Case Study: Mississippi Division of Medicaid slashes IT modernization costs and accelerates CMS compliance with Progress Data Platform

Mississippi Division of Medicaid cuts IT modernization costs to one-third with Progress Software

The Mississippi Division of Medicaid (MS DOM) faced a critical challenge in modernizing its IT systems to comply with federal data-sharing mandates (HL7 FHIR/USCDI). Its operations were hindered by expensive, siloed legacy systems that complicated data consolidation for reporting and analytics, risking penalties and delays. To address this, the agency turned to Progress Software and its Progress Data Platform.

Progress Software implemented the Progress Data Platform as a cloud-based operational data store, consolidating disparate data types without replacing existing systems. This solution enabled rapid compliance, empowered staff with analytical tools, and provided a scalable foundation. The results were significant: MS DOM delivered key applications in under 12 months at roughly one-third the cost of its original plan, avoiding multi-year delays and positioning the agency for future AI-driven use cases.
