Case Study: Kempinski Hotels achieves greater staff efficiency and lower IT costs with Cloud Pro

How Kempinski Hotels used cloud to improve staff efficiency

Kempinski Hotels, Europe’s oldest luxury hotel management group with more than 70 five-star properties across 30 countries, needed to standardize IT and reduce the cost and effort of managing its infrastructure. The company wanted to move away from running 140 on-premises servers and toward a future-proof cloud model, working with Cloud Pro and cloud services such as AWS.

Cloud Pro helped Kempinski Hotels build a five-year cloud migration plan, run workshops, and execute a phased move to AWS-based hosted infrastructure with ongoing managed support. The shift reduced the burden on IT staff, lowered total cost of ownership, and let employees focus more on applications than infrastructure; Kempinski estimated a 40% saving versus a traditional IT model over five years and expected ROI by year two and a half.
