CORUS360 AND SAGE SOLUTIONS CONSULTING PARTNER TO REDUCE FLORIDA'S BLUE CROSS AND BLUE SHIELD’S (“FLORIDA BLUE”) CUSTOMER WAIT TIMES

JACKSONVILLE, FL - FLORIDA'S BLUE CROSS AND BLUE SHIELD (“FLORIDA BLUE”) PROVIDE INNOVATIVE HEALTH SOLUTIONS AND INSURANCE PLANS TO THE PEOPLE OF FLORIDA.

FLORIDA BLUE increased customer satisfaction by cutting wait times and also reduced Interactive Voice response cost. The Enterprise DB OpenSourceDB will be used for Database as a Service (DbaaS) to provide developers and users needing DB access on demand.

Corus360 and Sage Solutions Consulting consolidated and streamlined multiple disparate systems and extend new predictive analysis tools using OpenSource DB (MongoDB NoSQL DB).  The resulting solution will enhance operations, service and support.

Florida's Blue Cross and Blue Shield purchased (5) CS822 Nutanix on POWER (High) nodes for MongoDB and EntDB PostGress Open Source DBs. Key reasons for deciding to go with POWER was better performance over Intel-based solutions (Dell) - 1.9X (MongoDB) and 3x (EntDB). Sage Solutions Consulting and Corus 360 teamed to make this win a reality at Florida's Blue Cross and Blue Shield.

WHY SAGE SOLUTIONS CONSULTING/ CORUS360?
