The Challenge
Sana Benefit’s engineering, product, operations, and support teams were working in disparate, unintegrated systems which resulted in inefficient workflows and lost time.
With a lack of integration between Zendesk, Asana, and Monday, their users were forced to perform double documentation and communication was delayed. These challenges made it hard for leadership to view high-level reporting on the work.
As Sana Benefits continued to grow, they needed a scalable work and knowledge management solution to increase efficiency, promote cross-functional collaboration, and provide visibility into active work and dependencies. They needed a single, HIPAA-compliant environment for their teams to work out of, meet user demands, and effectively grow with company.
Our Approach
Oxalis performed an initial discovery assessment through stakeholder interviews and system introspection to understand their current processes and challenges. We conducted 10 interviews with 24 people. Then, we identified whether the Atlassian product suite could provide the tools required to achieve Sana’s vision.
We concluded an Atlassian Data Center environment hosted in a HIPAA-compliant cloud infrastructure could satisfy their requirements. We then began to design, configure, and implement this single, cross-collaborative structure without disruption to their day-to-day operations.
Teams previously using disparate processes and workflows moved to a standardized configuration to streamline processes and unlock more robust reporting capabilities. Data from the previous applications were also migrated into Jira so users could operate out of the new environment and have access to all of the data they needed.
We set up integration with Zendesk, as it was critical to streamline the ticket creation and communication process with their support and operations, and engineering teams.
Finally, we assisted with the change and transition management for their agents, end users, and managers. All of the teams were able to successfully use the system from day one. Learn more about our Enterprise Services.
