Case Study: vdek (Association of Substitute Health Insurance Companies) achieves self-service forecasting for cost‑effective budget negotiations with Pyramid Analytics

vdek meets cost and quality requirements through self-service analytics

vdek is a German association representing substitute health insurance companies that supports contract negotiations with hospitals, verifies hospital bills and advises on regulatory changes. Facing large data volumes and a need for high data quality and self‑service discovery, vdek required tools that let staff explore data independently and accurately forecast cost and quality outcomes for negotiations.

By implementing Pyramid, vdek can simulate new charging systems and forecast cost developments to inform budget negotiations while maintaining service quality. The intuitive, self‑service platform reduced reliance on the data management team, improved user satisfaction and forecasting capability, and set the stage for expanding BI use and in‑house data modeling.
