AWS Cloud Migration
Facts: With AWS Cloud Migration, we kicked off a project to replace the 6-year-old store infrastructure. Although the system had already been virtualized, an ever-growing company that continuously integrates new locations and retail brands requires an increasingly complex and sophisticated store platform. At the same time, it must be highly flexible. Our solution was therefore: AWS Cloud Migration.
