Case Study: Wego achieves rapid scaling, major cost savings, and near‑100% SAP availability with Amazon Web Services

Wego - Customer Case Study

Wego, founded in 2005, is a Singapore‑based travel search engine serving the Asia‑Pacific and Middle East that aggregates prices from 700+ travel sites. Rapid growth exposed limits of its original co‑located and virtualized servers: infrastructure management became costly and time‑consuming for a small IT team, and its on‑premises SAP Business One system slowed so much that only on‑site users could work efficiently. Wego needed a more flexible, scalable, and accessible IT platform.

Over a three‑month migration Wego moved its website, apps and SAP system to AWS, running up to 150 EC2 instances inside a VPC and using S3 and CloudFront for storage and delivery, plus AWS Support for SAP. The move cut infrastructure overhead (about $120k/year), put Wego 25% under budget with payback under 12 months, enabled 75% faster application deployments, scalable capacity to handle tripling users, near‑100% SAP availability, and improved backups and remote access for the finance team.
