Since WellPoint's formation in 1992, a series of mergers and acquisitions made it one of the leading publicly traded healthcare companies in the United States. Rapid, continuous growth and increasing intranet use soon intensified the difficulty of locating information for associates and management. WellPoint's Human Resource Information Systems (HRIS) department could not use the intranet to leverage human resource data for management-level decision making. In addition, communicating with the company's 20,000 associates had become a challenge. The vision of the HRIS department at WellPoint was to establish a single source for company-wide information via a portal. HRIS selected Oracle's PeopleSoft Enterprise Portal because WellPoint relied on its PeopleSoft database to source HR information.
