In the past year, the Philippines saw various enterprises and industries struggle with new challenges. Some businesses managed to alleviate the situation by providing alternative and additional services with the help of digital solutions, however other enterprises were not so fortunate.
With numerous businesses shutting down, the pandemic has shone a light on the need to adopt cloud technologies. A report from the World Bank and the National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA) said that digital technologies such as digital payments, e-commerce, telemedicine, and online education are rising in the Philippines.
Digital Transformation helped businesses and the government cope with social distancing measures, ensure business continuity, and deliver public services during the pandemic. The World Bank also said that increasing digital adoption is critical to help the Philippines adapt to the post-COVID-19 world and achieve its vision of becoming poverty-free by 2040.
A Glimpse of the Future
One of the best ways enterprises can prevent this obstacle is through modern applications. It will allow them to quickly scale to potentially millions of users, have global availability, manage petabytes to exabytes of data, and respond in milliseconds.
According to Stratpoint Technologies, a born-in-the-cloud digital transformation enabler delivering enterprise-grade solutions, modern applications are built with a combination of modular architecture patterns, serverless operational models, and agile development processes. It allows organizations to innovate faster while reducing risk, time to market, and total cost of ownership.
“Since the website of Solaire Resort & Casino Manila serves as the first touchpoint for its clientele, their growing number of online visitors had placed additional demands on its single server infrastructure, so there was a need to enhance its efficiency and reliability in order to allow an enhanced customer experience for visitors to its website."
To solve this predicament, Stratpoint's cloud team provided the expertise to re-architect and migrate Solaire's website from its previous cloud provider to the IT provider's Amazon Web Services (AWS) Landing Zone. This website migration answers their need to shift to a more efficient cloud solution.
Solaire's core business is to provide a luxurious experience to its guests in every aspect of the customer journey, even on online platforms like their website. Migrating their website infrastructure to a robust cloud location such as AWS keeps it 99.99% operational, focused on creating delightful guest experiences.
Take the Step to the Next Level
AWS is a comprehensive, evolving cloud computing platform provided by Amazon that includes a mixture of infrastructure as a service (IaaS), platform as a service (PaaS), and packaged software as a service (SaaS) offering. It offers organizations tools such as compute power, database storage, and content delivery services.
Businesses can modernize their applications on AWS, giving them the ability to scale to potentially millions of users quickly, have a broad reach, manage extensive data, and respond to customer needs fast.
Solaire, for instance, now reaps these benefits. In a month, the premier luxury hospitality institution had a fully functioning website in the cloud, better suited for their world-class business. Stratpoint also started delivering a fully managed cloud service, maintaining the infrastructure’s security, elasticity, and high availability.
This time, the good news is small- and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) that need this solution to cope with today’s challenges can get an added benefit with Stratpoint's AWS Migration Promo. Any company interested in availing of this offering will receive three months' worth of AWS credits, allowing them to save up to $20,000 of costs to jumpstart their AWS migration.
