Case Study: World Kinect achieves greater application performance and resiliency with Amazon Web Services

World Kinect Boosts Application Performance, Drives Infrastructure Resiliency, and Modernizes Applications by Collaborating with AWS

World Kinect, a global energy management company, was modernizing its IT environment to support business growth after years of acquisitions and aging on-premises systems that were causing performance issues and outages. To become cloud-first, the company worked with Amazon Web Services (AWS) to migrate its business applications to the cloud, including its critical Oracle E-Business Suite and related ERP processes.

Amazon Web Services helped World Kinect streamline the migration and build internal cloud skills while moving from 22 physical data centers to AWS. The result was tangible operational cost savings, improved application performance, stronger infrastructure resiliency, and better scalability for key financial and customer-facing systems, helping protect revenue and prepare the company for future modernization.
