After launching Fonteva, HIMSS encountered issues that limited its ability to deliver high-quality member experiences. The organization struggled with trust in system performance and the quality of member data. Internal teams faced a steep learning curve while managing a new, complex system architecture and lacked the expertise to implement necessary improvements. HIMSS needed a trusted partner to assess priorities, guide platform usage and updates, and support an integrated modernization roadmap.
Support addressing implementation gaps, improving usability, and restoring internal confidence in core system functionality.

Several key systems were not yet integrated, limiting automation and manual efficiency across departments.
