Case Study: Highmark Health streamlines API collaboration and cuts delivery time with Stoplight

HighMark moves from ideation to prototype in 6 hours with Stoplight

HighMark, a healthcare delivery and financing network, faced challenges with an outdated code-first API approach that slowed down development teams. This process lacked early stakeholder collaboration, often leading to wasted effort and APIs that did not meet business needs. The company turned to Stoplight to address these issues.

Stoplight provided a collaborative, design-first solution using its API design tools and visual editor. This approach enabled Highmark's teams to rapidly prototype APIs, improve consistency through reusable data models, and get real-time feedback from stakeholders. The results included a dramatic decrease in delivery time, with some projects moving from weeks to just hours, and increased confidence that APIs were being built correctly from the start.
