THE CHALLENGE

To Provide Continual IT Infrastructure & Application Services Uptime

As a reputable service-minded insurance company, it is important for Tenet Insurance to maintain superior customer service not merely via human interaction methods, but also via digital channels that can be brought about by continual IT system and application uptime.

Before sendQuick Entera, Tenet Insurance relied on manual monitoring or email alerts which took time. As a result, the IT team were usually late in finding and resolving issues arising from infrastructure breakdown and application availability. This resulted in delayed availability of IT systems and applications. Short Messaging Service (SMS) was identified as a solution to provide quick and reliable IT alerts to increase response time and thus reduce system and application downtime.
