Composite application technology will reduce operational costs while improving member satisfaction and provider interactions
Redwood Shores, CA and Washington, DC, April 17, 2025 — At the World Health Care Congress today, Above All® Software, a provider of award-winning business integration software, announced support for Knowledge Driven Health Plans, Microsoft’s shared vision and solutions framework for the health plan industry. The new initiative leverages the deep industry expertise of Microsoft’s business solutions partners, and capitalizes on the proven ability of Microsoft software to connect people and systems, driving better informed decisions across members, providers, employers, and industry partners. Above All’s Composite Application Platform™, and its focus on service-oriented integration will provide health plans the agility needed to navigate regular changes in their industry.
Health plans today are not only under pressure to reduce costs but are also challenged with demands from providers and members for improved access to information and higher-quality customer service. Health plans recognize the need to streamline information access, but the key data to support these demands are stored on a disparate and often proprietary set of databases and applications. They need a modern, cost-effective way to integrate and easily share the proper information to help members and purchasers make informed plan choices and aid providers in care decisions.
Health plans can use Microsoft and Above All technologies to assemble and deliver composite applications that provide integrated and transactional access to various information systems. By deploying composite applications within familiar Microsoft or other standard user interfaces, health plans can increase productivity and improve the customer experience for members and providers. The Above All Composite Application Platform is built on the Microsoft .NET Framework making it an ideal complement to all Microsoft technologies.
“Integrated, service-oriented solutions are an important element for enabling the business transformation of health plans to the collaborative, information-driven organizations they need to be in today’s consumer-focused healthcare system, ” said Dennis Schmuland, M.D., industry director for health plans at Microsoft Corp. “Above All’s Composite Application Platform uses Microsoft technology to better connect people, within health plans and across the healthcare ecosystem, with the information they need to make knowledge-based decisions.”
Above All leverages growing investments in Web services and service-oriented architecture (SOA) to enable just-in-time assembly of composite applications – integrated solutions that pull together business functionality and information from varied information sources. Above All resolves the semantic differences between legacy, custom and packaged applications, and helps companies avoid the data redundancy issues that occur across these systems. Above All enables enterprises to reap the business benefits of composite applications in a matter of weeks through its unique “mine-refine-assemble-deploy” approach.
“Above All is proud to support Microsoft’s vision for driving innovation in the healthcare industry,” said Jon Temple, President and CEO of Above All Software. “As health plans face increasingly complex customer interactions, Above All’s Composite Application Platform significantly eases the challenge of integrating fragmented and redundant customer information. We’re committed to helping health plans improve the customer experience of members and providers while reducing operational costs.”
Knowledge Driven Health Plans is a shared vision, strategy, and solutions framework created to enable health plans to deliver affordable personal and population health through informed decisions and coordinated, evidence-based care. Under Knowledge Driven Health Plans, Microsoft and its business solution partners offer health plans a new generation of collaborative information technology solutions that provide the foundation for implementing profound organizational change.
