Healthcare organizations and information technology (IT) leaders say popup Covid-19 vaccination megasites are using digital enterprise technology to accommodate surging numbers of inoculations as more Americans qualify to be immunized.
Vaccination megasites across the country are using cloud communications, contact centers, and systems management software from software firm NWN.
NWN's Jim Sullivan said the facilities' systems must run on a secure and scalable network, which taps power and capacity from the cloud to provide flexibility for expansion.
