The Secret to Acquiring and Retaining Customers in Financial ServicesPerficient, Inc.
Data, when leveraged effectively, can help you segment and target customers, analyze spending habits, and can create a personalized experience that builds value and customer loyalty.
Without a 360-degree view of your customers, you can’t properly target them with real-time personalized offers, advice, and other services. In addition, lack of customer intelligence creates lost opportunities for banks and insurers to cross-sell and upsell new products and services.
Our one-hour webinar covered how customer intelligence platforms can help you engage, acquire, and retain customers.

Centene's Financial Transformation Journey: A OneStream Success StoryPerficient, Inc.
Centene, a large multi-line managed care organization, was looking to modernize and streamline its corporate performance management (CPM) applications.
Centene had to move data between platforms multiple times during the close process so that close data could be fully consolidated and made available for reporting. This process had numerous challenges and inefficiencies that Centene wished to improve upon so that they could provide a more streamlined and more transparent process to the functional teams that leverage consolidated financials in their systems for reporting and analysis.
Centene chose OneStream XF for global and US consolidations, currency conversion, eliminations, and ownership percentage.
Michael Vannoni, director, financial systems solutions discussed the migration to OneStream XF including:
-Factors leading to the selection of OneStream XF
-Details of the solution design
-Benefits realized with global consolidation implementation
-Future planned enhancements
WHODrug Koda, developed by Uppsala Monitoring Centre (UMC), is an automated coding service, which uses artificial intelligence (AI) to automate the coding of drug names and ATC selections, improving consistency and operational efficiency. It can also be used to accelerate dictionary upgrades, including the transition from WHODrug B2 format to B3.
Through API (Application Programming Interface) web services, the coding engine can be integrated with custom or off-the-shelf drug safety, medical coding, or data management systems.
In this webinar, Perficient and UMC discussed WHODrug Koda and how you can integrate it into your medical coding activities.
Preparing for Your Oracle, Medidata, and Veeva CTMS Migration ProjectPerficient, Inc.
There are multiple reasons why companies migrate to a new clinical trial management system (CTMS). Still, the two most common are mergers and acquisitions (i.e., CTMS consolidation) and the desire to switch CTMS vendors. Regardless of the reason, many of the best practices, processes, and tools are the same.
In this webinar, we looked at the migration approaches taken across several case studies. You’ll come away with an understanding of:
Pros and cons of each CTMS migration method
Types of migration tools, including APIs, ETL tools, and adapters
Approximate timelines and costs associated with each migration method
The topics discussed in this webinar can be applied to any CTMS migration project, whether you’re moving to or from Oracle’s Siebel CTMS, Medidata’s Rave CTMS, and Veeva’s Vault CTMS.

Finance & Analytics Team
• Group Voyagers have 3 entities, US, Canada
and India and reports are to be
generated/delivered to all these 3 entities
• Earlier reporting was manual and the
scheduling of reports was done with manual
labor. Now with BI in place everything is
automated.
• Wanted participants to be accountable for their
activities, create their own reports, run their
own dashboards etc.
• Spent time processing the close and
reconciling data and not enough time
analyzing it.
Growing Business
• Sourced from Oracle EBS instances and
other types of transactional systems
• Migrated from Discoverer to OBIA 11g in
late 2016
• Wanted to automate more reports from
Finance for end users
• Growing need to provide executive office
with greater insight into the real time
reporting from Oracle BI

Lack of Management Insight
Lack of consolidated KPIs and reporting
No visibility to call resolution steps
Manual root cause analysis
