What is Flume

the integrations challenge health plans are increasingly complex, featuring multiple internal systems and diverse trading partners each with unique data formats and file movement protocols integrating these systems and services is both costly and time consuming due to the point to point connections involved payers are strained in establishing integrations with an expanding number of solution providers and systems solution providers are inhibited by data access and quality receivable in a timely matter flume's solution flume is an integration platform as a services (ipaas) purpose built for the healthcare payer ecosystem we help payers, tpas, pbms, solutions, vendors, and other partners better organize, manage, and integrate healthcare data between systems we enable rapid, scalable integrations without requiring a complete overhaul of your existing environment we support parallel operations with existing integrations and data environments flume is built around real world healthcare operations, integrating with modern, legacy, and custom protocols and data standards systems connect to flume once and can then trade data with all other connected systems without additional configuration importantly, data remains stored within your environment, whether cloud based or on premises flume's canonical approach flume uses a canonical approach to data interoperability rather than integrating point to point redundantly, systems connect to flume one time and then trade data with each other on a permissioned basis this two sided etl process allows multiple systems to interoperate similar data types regardless of their individual formats or transmission methods (api, sftp, event stream, etc ) benefits of flume's approach observability observability real time transaction monitoring for both source and destination systems integrating through flume see the health of your entire integrations environment on one platform lower cost lower cost as n+1 dependent systems need to be integrated, incremental integration costs scale linearly rather than exponentially speed speed systems connect to flume using their native file format(s) and protocol(s) this vastly accelerates communication, configuration, and testing timelines data ownership & portability data ownership & portability data in flume is stored in the consolidated data store (cds) which can be customer controlled and hosted in your environment (if you don't have a cloud, flume can also host cds data) in effect, flume builds a data lake for customers, consolidating data from various sources
