Health Market Science taking healthcare provider data a QlikView-leap forward

Health Market Science (HMS) is a leading manufacturer of healthcare provider data in the United States. The company's flagship product, the HMS Provider Master File, includes detailed reference information for over 4.5 million individual practitioners and 1.0 million healthcare organizations. However, the company faced challenges in continuously tracking, integrating, analyzing, cleansing, and packaging millions of records of data from thousands of sources. The company's business analysts depended on as many as three programmers to write SQL code for a new, complex analysis. This process was time-consuming and sometimes led to different answers to a query depending on who was writing the code. HMS needed a solution that would enable business analysts to analyze data without support from programmers and meet requirements without the cost, complexity, and time required by traditional OLAP cube solutions.
