Our team is building an offering that will provide a data integration platform (mostly ETL) and embedded Web-based dashboards to managed care organizations. E.g., a small health plan may use our solution to get data from their core claims system and call center and see interactive dashboards on a website. Our team will do all the connections; the client IT team does not have to do much except grant us access to their data sources/APIs. Our current thinking is to charge for this solution via 1. A one-time professional services fee to set up the cloud-based system per their requirements 2. Ongoing PMPM (per member per month) fee. This fee ties our success to application load and value. Our average client has between 100k and 200k members. Is this a good rubric? Any concerns? What are good ranges for these two components? I realize the true answer is "it depends," but I am looking for reasonable ranges in the market. How would you react to $50k setup and $0.20 PMPM?

Aneesh KumarFounder and CEO6 months ago

I would compare it with Microsoft pages which can be used to build this with power platform and Azure integration to get the data. Power pages charges $2 per user per month. Now if the small health plan provider has such ...read more

My team is building a modern dashboard/portal that will ingest data from our vendors, client systems, and other systems. The objective—at least for now—is not to create a real-time composite application that orchestrates these systems; that may emerge in the future. What is the best platform to use? I am looking for an easy-to-use, simple, affordable system. We are a startup. Our core development language is Go. Folks have suggested Apache Airflow, Google Workflows, Airbyte, Dagster, and Workato.

Aneesh KumarFounder and CEO7 months ago

Hello,

I would recommend Workato for the solution if you understand your process and capabilities. I preface and caveat this tool makes sense for ease-of use, low code / no code, enabling bilateral integrations, speed ...read more
