Airship + Cloudsoft

Hospitality, SaaS

Problem Statement

Airship’s legacy tech stack lacked the flexibility required for growth, making it harder to scale and support user requirements. We worked with them to assess how moving to a cloud-native environment could improve security, compliance, cost, performance, and reliability.

What we did

We worked with Airship to modernise their infrastructure, enabling a secure and scalable cloud environment that supports innovation, enhances performance, and reduces operational overhead. 

1. Migrated to AWS:
   Transitioned Airship’s infrastructure to a scalable, cloud-native environment.
   
   
2. Modernised infrastructure:
   Built a secure, high-performance cloud architecture.
   
    
    
3. Adopted cloud-native technologies
   Improved performance, automation, and resilience.

How we did it 

1. Cloud Migration: Assessment Phase 

1. Objective
   Evaluate the feasibility, benefits, and cost-effectiveness of AWS migration. 
   
   
2. How
   Cloudsoft collaborated with Airship’s technical and business teams to build a data-driven business case for senior leadership.
   
    
3. Support
   AWS SMP Assess funding provided co-investment from Airship, AWS, and Cloudsoft. 

2. Cloud Migration: Mobilise & Migrate Phase 

1. Objective
   Design and implement a secure AWS architecture while minimising disruption. 
   
   
2. How
   Cloudsoft and Airship worked together to build, test, and migrate workloads in a controlled, phased approach.
   
    
3. Support
   AWS SMP Mobilise & Migrate funding continued co-investment from Airship, AWS, and Cloudsoft. 

The Outcomes 

1. Strategic Cloud Assessment
   Airship was able to build a data-driven business case for moving to the cloud, with AWS funding support. 
   
   
2. Tailored Cloud Architecture
   With Airship engineers, we designed a resilient, fault-tolerant cloud environment: fully managed via infrastructure as code. 
   
   
3. Reduced Technical Debt
   Automated infrastructure management freed up Airship engineers to focus on application development instead of maintenance. 
   
   
4. Faster Scaling & Upgrades
   Infrastructure upgrades are now seamless, and new resources can be provisioned quickly to meet customer demand. 
   
   
5. Enhanced Data & Analytics
   The new cloud architecture supports more advanced data and analytics capabilities. 
   
   
6. AWS Funding Support
   AWS credits helped reduce initial setup and running costs, making the transition more cost-effective.
