»  Learn more (PDF, January 2006)

Company profile

Founded in 1981, pharmacy benefits manager National Medical Health Card Systems Inc. (NMHC) provides service to nearly 9 million people. Its clients include managed care organizations, Taft-Hartley and multi-employer union groups, third-party administrators, self-insured employer groups, workers’ compensation plans, school districts and municipalities.

NMHC offers expertise in pharmacy benefits management, health information management, home delivery pharmacy and specialty pharmacy, along with a deep understanding of client and member needs. Plan sponsors are increasingly embracing the company’s Total Healthcare Solutions approach, which predicts member health outcomes based on claims history.

Business need

NMHC has been growing approximately 35% to 40% a year, primarily through acquisitions. Business growth has been accompanied by the need to grow storage by up to 10 terabytes a year. The company has plans to continue growing at this pace, but its storage system had reached its capacity. NMHC needed a solution that would offer the ability to handle very large amounts of storage and be able to scale quickly. The company was looking for a storage solution to help:

  • Hold down costs
  • Increasing archive capabilities
  • Respond more quickly to changing business needs

  • An ROI of 220% and a payback period of three months
  • Improved cost management and capacity planning
  • Reduced downtime
  • Enhanced archiving
  • Ability to respond more quickly to changing market conditions and to speed the time to market for new products and services.
