Case Study: Blue Cross of Idaho achieves finance‑owned, streamlined budgeting and sub‑second reporting with Strata Decision Technology (Axiom EPM)

Blue Cross of Idaho - Customer Case Study

Blue Cross of Idaho, the state’s oldest health insurer serving about 44% of Idaho’s population with 886 employees and over $1 billion in revenue, faced a looming sunset of its legacy SRC budgeting system and needed a more flexible platform to meet regulatory changes and streamline finance processes. After evaluating 35 vendors, it selected Strata Decision Technology’s Axiom EPM to replace the aging system and provide an Excel-friendly, finance-owned budgeting and planning solution.

Strata Decision Technology implemented Axiom EPM’s multi-dimensional budgeting and planning platform with an Excel-based interface, granular audit trails, drill-downs and integrated forecasting. The solution made the system finance-owned (no IT required), cut report update time from about 30 minutes to under a second, reduced errors and manual roll-ups, and improved forecasting accuracy and transparency — delivering measurable time savings and better insight for Blue Cross of Idaho.
