Washington Health Benefit Exchange supports 160% growth with Red Hat and Deloitte
Washington Health Benefit Exchange operates Healthplanfinder, an online insurance marketplace used by one in four state residents to find, compare, and enroll in coverage. To accommodate massive, rapid growth during the COVID-19 pandemic, the organization sought to replace its complex existing infrastructure with an integrated, microservices-based architecture. Working with Red Hat and Deloitte, the organization adopted Red Hat OpenShift to take advantage of iterative scalability on its private cloud. The team also used Red Hat Application Foundations (formerly called Red Hat Integration) to connect its APIs between teams and with third-party partners. As a result, Washington Health Benefit Exchange improved virtual resource delivery times from hours to seconds and API response times by 20%.
Benefits:
Reduced virtual machine (VM) provisioning from hours to seconds
Improved transactions times by 20% with enhanced integration and faster API responses
Added more than 57,000 new users—while eliminating downtime and outages
