Case Study: a major global consulting firm helps a U.S. state deliver a successful health insurance exchange with Sparx Enterprise Architect

How one American state implemented successful health-insurance reform

a major global consulting firm helped one American state build and launch a state-operated health insurance exchange under a tight legislative deadline, with many regulations still undefined and a complex mix of state systems, federal databases, insurers, and consumer-facing services to integrate. Sparx Systems’ Enterprise Architect was used to create the original reference framework and support the business requirements, use cases, and shared project repository.

Using Sparx Systems Enterprise Architect, the consulting team reused a prebuilt open-standards model, managed collaboration and traceability across multiple work streams, and supported development, integration, and testing. The result was a successful launch on day one, with the exchange performing beyond expectations and standing out as one of the few state exchanges that worked well from the start; Sparx Systems also helped enable disciplined modeling, faster delivery, and thorough quality control.
