Business Context
Businesses in the dynamic travel industry need help managing their travel programs. B2B travel technology firms emerge as a solution, providing innovative tools to streamline travel processes, optimize costs, and enhance the overall travel experience. To achieve enhanced operational excellence in cloud governance, FinOps best practices, and transparent observability, Mystify wanted to migrate to a cloud environment better suited to meet its business objectives.
Challenge:
The main challenge was to migrate Mystifly’s Development, Staging, UAT, and Production infrastructure including associated databases all within a tight deadline and with minimal/zero escalations. The decision reflects Mystifly’s commitment to leveraging advanced technology for enhanced operational efficiency and maintaining a competitive edge in the market.
Opportunity:
Considering GCP’s cloud cost optimization features and competitive advantages, Niveus suggested Mystifly migrate their workloads from Azure to GCP. This migration is set to equip Mystifly with the scalability and reliability that come with GCP, helping the company meet the growing demands of its expanding customer base. By adopting GCP, Mystifly aims to best use its resources and ultimately provide a better experience for its valued customers.
