Open enrollment season is approaching, and you can expect increased traffic from subscribers for enrollment call center, and third-party verification. Maintaining application performance and responsiveness during your busiest period is essential, but scaling resources dynamically to accommodate demand spikes while optimizing for cost can be challenging. You need to scale your cloud infrastructure for high availability and minimize downtime, ensure your applications and systems can handle what’s coming, and that you have the right security and compliance posture in place.
Open enrollment season is rapidly approaching, and it’s critical to prepare for increased traffic from subscribers for enrollment, call center, and third-party verification.
