Find out how we can provide you with a state offer that showcases the solutions Sagitec has to help states during this crisis and the historic claims loads and call volumes.
The United States is facing the sharpest rise in unemployment in its history due to the COVID-19 pandemic. With millions of workers filing for Unemployment Insurance (UI) initial claims, many state unemployment systems are buckling under pressure, adding to the woes of already frustrated claimants. The current systems and infrastructure most states have weren’t built for these claim volumes.
Sagitec can help states in multiple ways during the Coronavirus crisis by deploying our turnkey systems and technology. Sagitec is a certified Azure Government Managed Services Provider (MSP) and Microsoft Gold Partner. In addition, Sagitec is currently the largest provider of Microsoft Azure Cloud Services in the Health and Human Services industry which includes the Labor and Employment industry. We have an "Azure First" approach that helps clients move from on-premise solutions toward a cloud infrastructure that is scalable, flexible, and reduces your total cost of ownership.
The solutions listed below can be integrated with any existing state system. We can do this successfully because we have market-tested turnkey COTS products that are configurable to handle the state’s unique business processes and data needs and we have the existing cloud relationship, experience, and ability to bring this up very quickly on the Microsoft Azure cloud environment.
A CDN is a distributed network of servers that can efficiently deliver web content to users. Simply put, CDN off-loads traffic from websites by placing a cache system in front of them. User requests first hit the CDN servers where policy determines whether the request gets cached content or if it is pulled from the actual website. The overall impact of this solution is being able to take up to 90% of the traffic off your overwhelmed website and serve it from the CDN.
We can implement this in 1-2 days.
Implementing a live-chat/chatbot solution can reduce questions to your customer-service representatives by as much as 30-40% and is available 24/7. This is a self-service delivery channel to serve state claimants. We are currently implementing live chat in Maryland and a live chat/chatbot for another client. Why use the Sagitec/Microsoft Chatbot solution? Our Chatbot is already developed and trained to answer many UI questions out of the box and we can implement this very quickly on our Microsoft Azure Cloud tenant.
We can implement our solution, built on Microsoft chat services in 2-3 weeks.
Our MOBIAS claimant app is available for both IOS and Android and can help your claimants access your websites easily from their smartphones. MOBIAS allows claimants to do tasks like file continued claims, check claim status, and maintain their accounts all from their smartphone. Changes made on MOBIAS are put into a file format that can be consumed by your systems throughout the day as processing allows.
We can deploy MOBIAS in 2-3 weeks.
We can deploy our self-service portal in the Microsoft Azure Government cloud and collect the claimant information for both the initial claim and continued claim including the data required by the PUC program. We would then create a file that can be processed by the state’s internal system throughout the day. Our solution would use auto-scaling functionality in Azure to scale to the claim loads.
We can implement this in 1 month.

"Strategically, we believe that our investment should include smart and efficient technology to implement our program. Our investment paid off and we are a national best practice in both technology and program administration.”
"In preparation for our UI modernization efforts, we reached out to several different vendors and are extremely happy to have chosen Sagitec as our vendor. Sagitec’s project team has proven to be talented, seasoned and professional, and we have been very fortunate to have the Sagitec team on site here in South Carolina."
"We are excited about the new tax system and the early results we are seeing. This system gives employers more access to their accounts and is easy to navigate. It was a pleasure partnering with Sagitec in the implementation of this system that gives South Carolina businesses a state-of-the-art self-service portal in which to file their wage reports and contributions. The system will ensure South Carolina and its businesses stay in compliance with federal regulations.”
"The level of commitment and collaboration Sagitec demonstrated with ADP surpassed expectations…Sagitec’s willingness to partner with ADP and our industry has demonstrated itself with system design elements that we have requested in the past but have been unable to obtain from other system design implementations."
"Sagitec continues to support DOES by enhancing the portal based on suggestions from DOES’ staff and employers and agents. The enhancements are a great service offering. The enhancements are working out very well for both internal and external stakeholders because they continually improve our processes and make them run even more efficiently. All of the information that is captured through the ESSP is transferred to our legacy systems, which has greatly improved the health of our agency’s data."
"SCDEW had three IT goals for SUITS (UI Tax) modernization project: a scalable solution that greatly reduced or eliminated the need for complex programming, a scalable approach to hosting and infrastructure that allowed us to focus on outcomes and service quality rather than the care, deeding, and maintenance of on-premise equipment and software, and a solution that would continue to evolve with technology best practices, avoiding costly upgrades and re-engineering every few years. The last thing you want to do after a modernization project is to have to do it all over again. Sagitec has met or exceeded all of these goals."
"Application and infrastructure changes are made in collaboration with Sagitec's team, follow our policies and procedures for change control, and don't require software developers to support. The SCDEW program staff define outcomes, and the Sagitec team delivers solutions. Our SUITS system is hosted in Azure, which allows it to flex with demand while consistently meeting SLA's, and Sagitec's support and maintenance methodology ensures the platform and architecture components remain current without lengthy disruptions to system availability during business hours, or compromising on data security and patch management."
"We've completed a lot of modernization projects at SCDEW. The SUITS project stood out as an engagement where the vendor reduced the amount of stress associated with implementation and operations, and delivered a system that we can rely on rather than just live with."
