CLOUD IN THE CONNECTED WORLD

It really is the advent of cloud computing that created today’s increasingly connected data systems. First, storage went the cloud way, then technology platforms, then applications. Slowly but surely, everything-as-a-service (EaaS) will be an avatar of cloud and almost anything that can go cloud will go cloud: Shopping. Gaming. Mobile apps. Video rendering. Business applications. Workflows. Websites.

For consumers, the cloud offers simplicity and accessibility. For enterprises, it is fast becoming one of the main drivers of innovation and competitive advantage. And yes, the cloud is within your reach today. But there are questions. How fast can you get it up and running? What can you use it for? How will you integrate it with the rest of your IT? How will you secure it? And how can you be ready to cloudburst even before you know you’re going to need more storage?

The answer is a partner who is skilled across the cloud spectrum – readiness, design, build, secure, monitor; and more importantly, a partner who accelerates your journey from readiness to monitor.

One of the top three consumer brand companies in the world.

THE CLIENT

THE SITUATION A portfolio of hundreds of trusted brands with 700 country-specific brand and campaign websites is not easy to manage in the connected world. Each brand website is the storefront for smart shoppers with smart devices who expect offers, personalization, information and accessibility at their homes and on the go. But for our client, these websites were created, hosted and managed by local providers. The result? No standardization in creation and hosting of websites, which meant higher cost, more complexity, and prolonged time-to-market.

If 300 million consumers were expected to view a brand campaign from anywhere in the world and all at the same time, there was only one way to go – the cloud. But in addition to merely hosting the website infrastructure on the AWS cloud, the key to the client’s success was to standardize and automate the process of rolling out each website. That’s just what we did with a workflow engine the accelerated the cloud journey, with 500 websites moved to the new platform in just five months. In addition, the CSS Corp team monitors the cloud environment – infrastructure and applications – 24x7.

99.5% availability of all websites, 100% SLA compliance, and 100% accuracy in campaign planning – these numbers mean the client has transformed its digital delivery and consumer experience. Stability of the infrastructure and web applications is now guaranteed; sudden bursts in traffic are easier to manage and costs are lower – the client saves over millions of dollars year after year. And when it’s time to launch a new campaign, here’s what they can look forward to – two days to go live, 7x faster launch, and the power to delight millions of consumers with ease.
