Overview To deliver on the promise of a new corporate vision, Premera Blue Cross needed a new cost-effective technology platform with the agility, reliability, and scalability to meet market demands. The technology solution was part of a larger effort to create a more efficient organization that could provide new choices to the market, improve on traditional products, and establish more effective self-service capabilities for its customers and agents. In 2001, Premera deployed Microsoft Windows 2000 Datacenter Server and SQL Server 2000 running on Unisys ES7000 enterprise servers. Having used the new platform to build Premera Dimensions, an evolutionary approach to health coverage, Premera is taking a leadership role in redefining and reinventing how the industry provides health insurance.
