Founded in 1995, The Regence Group is one of the largest non-profit health care insurers in the U.S., comprising four affiliate organizations in Oregon, Washington, Idaho, and Utah. The Regence Group wanted to move from four disparate paper-driven systems to a single sales management information system that could accommodate differences based on local needs and legislative requirements. They implemented the Web-based Onyx Employee Portal built on Microsoft Windows 2000 and Microsoft SQL Server 2000, which provides a single platform for managing the sales process for group accounts.
