Challenges

With monolithic systems, adding new features or performance improvements was costly and time-consuming.

Aging Infrastructure
Existing IT infrastructure needed to be modernized, improving capacity, capabilities, and performance to compete.

Legacy Systems
The organization needed a strategy that involved smaller teams, solving challenges with newly integrated systems for quick and easy development.

Digital Competition
CWT needed to increase new client acquisition to compete with cloud-native competition.

Continuous Delivery and DevOps
Neudesic’s blueprint for innovation involved DevOps/Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery competencies, providing CWT with a fully automated solution designed and implemented on the Amazon Web Services (AWS) platform.
“Transforming legacy systems was essential to keep pace with today’s global enterprise customer. By leveraging a serverless architecture with cloud-native applications, Neudesic helped us develop a new, automation-first approach that respected legacy capabilities, shared information along the way so production was not completed in silos, and assured security was an essential component from end-to-end.”

Transforming Legacy Systems
Neudesic understood the complexities of transforming legacy technology at an enterprise level - including decommissioning an existing monolithic application into dynamic, resilient Microservices built upon serverless.
“With seamless digital systems, we remain one of the most well-established travel management entities in the world, supported by similarly world-class systems. We’re planning a steady and deliberate road map toward greater AWS performance, including tapping into Neudesic for AWS managed services expertise and support.”
