Building a stable, high-availability Broker Portal with improved visibility, faster incident resolution, optimized cloud costs, and a scalable foundation for seamless digital growth.
The Case

A leading health insurance provider partnered with Reflections to optimize SRE support for its Broker Portal following a migration from on-premise infrastructure to Microsoft Azure.
