CHALLENGE

Centralization challenge and value

The US Defense Health Agency (DHA) is a joint, integrated combat support agency that provides integrated healthcare and medical services for the Department of Defense (DoD) on and off the battlefield.

It needed to merge three large-scale medical systems from the US Navy, Army and Air Force into a single enterprise unit, involving an extensive transitioning of responsibility for hundreds of medical and dental facilities. It also necessitated centralizing immense volumes of independently managed, formatted and stored records.

APPROACH

A future-proof solution

The DHA turned to SpinSys-Diné, an innovative engineering and systems integrator based in Virginia. It also evaluated a range of products to meet requirements for cost, flexibility, security, long-term support and rapid implementation through proven DoD deployments.

Qlik Talend offered best-of-breed big data capabilities in support of master data management and automation as part of the scalable solution for SpinSys-Diné to integrate into the existing ecosystem. Qlik Talend was easily integrated with the DHA’s existing enterprise tools and data to meet ETL requirements.
