About The Customer
Zakipoint Health, a healthcare analytics company, empowers employers and third-party administrators (TPAs) to navigate the complexities of healthcare cost management. Their data-driven solutions leverage predictive analytics to identify members at risk of high-cost medical events, enabling proactive interventions.
Challenges
The client switched to AWS Cloud to manage its hosting needs from a single platform, eliminating the hassles and security risks of managing multiple hosting providers. As the company’s business grew, the internal team of Zakipoint struggled to keep up with the increasing complexity of their AWS cloud infrastructure. The team was spending time on cloud tasks, such as provisioning and managing resources, resulting in performance slowdowns.
- Rising cloud costs due to poor AWS resource management: Inefficient resource utilization was leading to increased cloud expenses.
- Challenges in implementing microservices: Integrating microservices architecture into their existing systems posed technical complexities.
- Limited reliable technical support: Access to timely and effective technical support to address cloud-related issues was lacking.
Why They Chose TekBay?
Zakipoint Health migrated to AWS to address its infrastructure needs and ensure scalability and reliability. Recognizing the need for further optimization, they collaborated with TekBay because of their limited AWS expertise.
