The challenge

Stable every day. Unproven at peak demand.

The provider supports hundreds of banks and their customers, handling thousands of time-sensitive inbound calls each day. Seasonal traffic was rising, and subtle signs were emerging: delayed connections, more abandoned calls and occasional unexplained drops.

The team needed to know whether its Genesys Engage platform could handle 2,000 simultaneous inbound calls for 30 minutes or more, and where carrier, routing or calls-per-second bottlenecks might appear.

01 · Hidden performance risk

Peak conditions had never been tested.

Reliable day-to-day operations did not reveal how the platform would behave under real load. Without a safe way to simulate peak traffic, readiness depended on assumptions.

02 · Customer impact

Silent failures could disrupt critical calls.

A missed or delayed call could mean a lost opportunity, a damaged customer relationship or a compliance risk. The organization needed evidence before the next peak season.

The CloudCX approach

Simulate the pressure. Find the failure points.

CloudCX ran a one-time, production-safe load test replicating customer call behavior across multiple phone numbers, entry points and call pacing scenarios. Testing took place safely in isolation, with no disruption to live operations.

01

Simulate

Recreate peak inbound call volumes and realistic customer calling patterns.

02

Diagnose

Use detailed diagnostics to see exactly when, where and why calls fail.

03

Remediate

Bring IT, telco teams and vendors together to resolve the bottlenecks.

04

Retest

Repeat the load test to validate improvements under peak conditions.

The first test revealed the hidden risk.

During the first test cycle in November 2024, over 50% of simulated customer calls failed to connect. Connection timeouts and suspected carrier-side throttling exposed issues that could have disrupted thousands of live interactions per hour.

The second test proved the improvement.

Using CloudCX diagnostics, the organization resolved three high-risk issues, including CPS limits and routing failures. After remediation, 99.5% of calls connected without error. Call success improved from 48.5% to 99.5% in 12 weeks.

Business impact
