I work for an insurance company, and we are currently managing four major projects. These projects are distinct solutions designed to serve both internal and external purposes. Internally, they cater to our marketing department by helping them assess potential sales opportunities and evaluate ways to offer more cost-effective insurance options to customers. We also have projects focused on financial analysis, where we scrutinize the costs associated with incentives provided by insurance companies to doctors, healthcare providers, and facilities for encouraging individuals to undergo preventive health measures like blood tests and check-ups. The goal of these internal projects is to gain a better understanding of whether we should continue offering these incentives and, if so, how we can optimize them.

At Blue Cross Blue Shield where I work, we have 54 different systems. They are divided into projects. We provide queries against either Db2 or Microsoft extracted data. You can write an SQL code against a COBOL file. You can type in there, you can read and write any type of data sets, big or little, and you can merge things. We're supporting millions of cases. People can go to our website and find every one of their queries. Every doctor visit, what happened at the visit, and that type of stuff. We also provide information for providers. We've also created things for groups and companies that are nationwide and have their own plan, with their logo and reports, so their HR people can access the information. Previously, I set up a series of WebFOCUS HTML pages that would run a job and query when you clicked on them. I worked at a university, and we could get any historical data about how many people were in a major for the last 10 years by gender, race, sex, or whatever. We could generate close to 800 different reports just with one prompted page.
