Blogs » Bridging the Gap: Implementing Salesforce Health Cloud for Insurance Innovation
In my previous blog, Case Study: Modernizing Insurance Operations Without a Full System Reset, I discussed the common challenges of relying on outdated legacy systems and homegrown tools in insurance operations. These outdated setups often introduce operational delays and errors, directly impacting the bottom line.
Getting back to the customer’s situation, once we identified the limitations of the client’s legacy systems, our focus was on creating a solution that resolved immediate pain points while laying the groundwork for future scalability.

Salesforce Health Cloud emerged as the ideal fit, balancing deep healthcare functionality with high customization potential. Let us now look at the transformation process.
#1 – Initial Evaluation and Objectives
We started with a comprehensive assessment of the current state—mapping existing workflows and identifying opportunities for improvement. My industry expertise helped bridge the gap between stakeholders by translating technical, clinical, and insurance-related requirements.
Together with the client, we defined clear success metrics:
#2 – Customizing Health Cloud for Insurance Needs
Lirik’s role was central to addressing the following areas:
#3 – Tackling Data Migration Challenges

Digital Plan Management: Our Plan Builder transformed static brochures into a dynamic platform that:
Integration with Healthcare Standards: We ensured seamless communication and compliance through integration with:
Overcoming Implementation Challenges
Our objective from the get-go was to meet the success metrics laid out and we don’t believe merely migrating workflows to a different software will solve. This is not about just implementation, it’s also business transformation and required us to refactor legacy systems generating data, reimagine workflows, integrate to avoid manual intervention and create a foundation for long term success. Specifically, we addressed the following challenges:
