In an organization as large and complex as Cambia Health Solutions, digital transformation is never just about technology—it’s about aligning people, processes, and systems at scale. As Cambia moved to modernize its producer lifecycle management, the scope quickly expanded to include commissions processing, producer onboarding, portal access, and new self-service workflows. But with more than 100 stakeholders involved and dozens of technology teams contributing, decision-making became increasingly complex and testing risked stalling before deployment.
As the program entered User Acceptance Testing (UAT), nearly 3,000 test cases needed execution across multiple platforms and user types. Testers spanned more than a dozen Digital Technology Solutions teams, each with unique access requirements and workflows.
Without structured guidance, the scale and technical complexity threatened to overwhelm internal teams and delay deployment.
The stakes were high. Cambia’s transformation aimed to simplify producer onboarding, streamline commissions, and deliver modern self-service tools. A failed or delayed rollout would stall modernization efforts and strain already stretched teams navigating competing priorities and evolving system requirements.
That’s when Cambia partnered with Canidium.
Canidium brought hands-on leadership to the UAT effort, combining technical expertise with intensive user support. Experts traveled on-site to guide kickoff sessions, shifting quickly from training to collaborative execution, ensuring users were confident running tests themselves. When a scheduled environment refresh wiped testing data mid-stream, Canidium rapidly restored environments and data, keeping momentum intact. Repeated show-and-share sessions and responsive defect resolution built confidence across stakeholders navigating new systems for the first time.
Despite major technical hurdles—including a pioneering implementation of SAP’s Identity Authentication Service for Single Sign-On, complex role-based security, and custom ownership logic across systems—the program remained on track. Canidium’s rapid turnaround on defect resolution built trust with testing leadership, while continuous collaboration kept testing progress steady.
The results were significant. Teams successfully executed nearly 3,000 test cases and achieved sign-off across commissions, producer portals, and self-service workflows. Canidium delivered a comprehensive suite of modules in just 1.5 years—far faster than comparable enterprise implementations. The success of UAT and go-live cemented Canidium’s role as a long-term partner, with Cambia moving into managed services and already planning future initiatives together.
“This achievement represents an extraordinary collaborative effort... The dedication, expertise, and collaboration demonstrated throughout this process have been nothing short of inspiring. We couldn't have reached this point without each person's valuable contribution.”

By the end of the engagement, Cambia had transformed a complex, high-risk testing effort into a confident deployment, proving that even massive enterprise UAT initiatives can succeed when technology execution is paired with hands-on partnership and user-focused support.
