“Tim–s experience as a CEO of payer, provider, medical device and pharma-facing organizations gives him a unique 360-degree view of healthcare,” said David Schmaier, CEO and founder of Vlocity. “Tim long ago recognized the transformative power of IT when, in 1998, he founded Kinetra, one of the first web-based healthcare companies, later acquired by WebMD. In the fifteen years since selling Kinetra, Tim has remained dedicated to transformative improvements in healthcare through the strategic application of information technology. As a result of his nearly two decades working in and around health insurance, Tim has developed deep insights and strong relationships that are helping Vlocity focus on the right things, in the right ways and at the right times. Vlocity is excited to welcome Tim to our advisory board.”
“Health insurers are experiencing rapid transformation with the advent of new models and a focus on the consumer,” said Hargarten. “Strategic management of a health insurance organization requires a world-class customer engagement platform with personalization that extends throughout the core business processes and ecosystem. Vlocity Health Insurance is the only solution that can provide this type of industry depth combined with the world-class Salesforce member engagement solution. Health insurers have always had to choose between business depth and world-class software. With Vlocity Health Insurance, health insurers can have both, delivered via the health insurance Industry Cloud.”
Vlocity recently launched to enable health insurers, employee benefits providers, and producers to deploy industry-specific processes for group and individual health benefits administration and plan selection via the Salesforce Marketing Cloud, Sales Cloud, Service Cloud and Community Cloud.
