Qualtrics, the leader and creator of the experience management (XM) category, announced Select Health, the nonprofit health plan of Intermountain Health serving more than one million members across the Mountain West, is using Qualtrics® to connect member and patient experiences that are typically held separately from each other to deliver superior healthcare experiences and health outcomes for its members. Members are often required to navigate separate systems - different portals for claims and clinical records, separate customer service lines for insurance questions and care coordination, disconnected communication about prescriptions, appointments, and billing. For health plans, a key challenge in improving the experience is knowing where to focus efforts when information is spread across multiple systems and touchpoints. By bringing feedback from across the member and patient journey into a single view, Select Health can identify the areas that have the greatest impact to reduce complexity, strengthen communication, and make it easier for

Hitachi Digital Services, a global systems integrator powering mission-critical platforms, and Eraneos, a leading strategy, transformation, and technology consultancy, today announced a strategic partnership establishing integrated, end-to-end ITxOT transformation capabilities. This collaboration unites Eraneos’ deep strategic, regulatory, and industry acumen with Hitachi’s strong ITxOT systems integration expertise to deliver holistic AI services from executive solution ideation to manufacturing transformation – backed by local precision. Consequently, mid-market EMEA enterprises, particularly those with asset-heavy operating models, can realize high impact AI advantages faster and with confidence in the systems’ trusted business outcomes. In 2024, 41.17% of large enterprises deployed AI technologies compared to only 20.97% of medium-sized enterprises in the EU alone. Arguably, mid-market adoption may be hindered by prohibitive costs, lack of technical skills, and difficulty emerging from the pilot phase. As companies navigate accelerating AI-driven change, many struggle with fragmented transformation efforts that fail to link vision to execution, that fail to turn insight
