With an aim to better engage customers, improve support programs, and drive business growth using digital and cloud technologies, our client partnered with Infogain to engineer its customer portal from the ground up. With approximately 70% of its customer base interacting solely through the portal, our client aimed to modernize its legacy systems with an agile, streamlined, efficient cloud platform to improve customer experiences and satisfaction levels.
Action
We understood that becoming service-led and digital-ready to deliver new customer experiences meant establishing cloud infrastructures that could not only improve security, compliance, and performance today but also remain resilient and scalable for future needs.
We deployed a next-generation version of our client’s customer portal on an Azure PaaS-based, digital-ready cloud infrastructure platform. Leveraging Azure as a cloud-native innovation platform, we enabled our client to improve performance, simplify management operations, achieve auto scalability, and meet security, HIPAA and PCI compliance, and application resiliency goals.
