Case Study: Hertz transforms IT and accelerates app delivery with Cloud Foundry

Hertz transforms IT across 9,980 locations with Cloud Foundry

Hertz, a major car rental company, faced the challenge of modernizing its aging, monolithic IT infrastructure and slow, waterfall-based application development processes. To drive innovation and avoid obsolescence, Enterprise Architecture Vice President John LaFreniere sought a cloud-first, DevOps-oriented approach, turning to the vendor Cloud Foundry for a solution implemented through IBM Bluemix.

By adopting Cloud Foundry's platform-as-a-service, Hertz gained the foundation for a microservices architecture and DevOps methodology. This solution enables faster, more flexible application development, directly improving the customer experience with new features like online rental extensions. Cloud Foundry sits at the heart of Hertz's IT transformation, allowing them to build portable applications for web and mobile and ensuring continuous innovation.
