Customer Spotlight

Presbyterian Healthcare Services

When Presbyterian Healthcare Services got the message from New Mexico's Health Services Department (HSD) that it would need to trim $40 million from its annual Medicaid budget, it was cause for concern. But the real challenge arrived a moment later: The cuts had to be identified immediately, within a period of two to three days. "While one team brainstormed ideas, the analysts were able to use BusinessObjects™ to quickly pull supporting evidence for each idea that was put forward," says Donio, director of enterprise decision support.
