Technology decisions can make or break a TPA’s ability to evolve, remain profitable and provide best-in-class service. But with legacy claims platforms, outdated member portals, and ongoing data issues, many TPAs are stuck or unsure where to focus next.

Empara has launched the Build vs. Buy Tech Guide, a strategic resource designed to help organizations evaluate technology investments, select the right partners, take advantage of the latest AI enhancements, and future-proof their tech.

“Evolving your technology strategy is often a burden when it should be something that helps you grow and differentiate,” said Ben Callaghan, Chief Experience Officer at Empara. “Our guide offers TPAs important considerations to optimize their platforms for long-term success.”
