  • The current way that Anthem reviews its dental claims is very manual, having the dentists going into an office and reviewing the claims for approval/denial/appeal. With the new system, all of this traveling and office visiting will not be needed. The dentists will be able to work from the comfort of their home or their own office.

  • With our framework, we have been able to build new applications in 10% of the time/cost. Example, we built an application that took 8 months and 1.2 million k in a traditional .net environment and was able to build a similar application in 60 days for about 100k
  • Collaboration with the designer shaves weeks off the requirements gathering
  • Standard reporting is a launchpad that allows the users to accept the system without waiting for MIS reports to follow application build which often would usually delay use for 60 to 90, but not with Pega
