Case Study: Iconic British Retailing Company achieves faster, more agile online shopping with Ensono

Move from legacy to AWS elevates online shopping experience within months

An iconic British Retailing Company needed to modernize its legacy IT environment so it could keep pace with omnichannel competitors and improve the gap between its in-store and online customer experience. The company turned to Ensono and its Cloud Transformation on AWS service to support a move away from expensive legacy server architecture and enable faster, more flexible digital operations.

Ensono helped migrate business-critical applications to AWS and began replacing the retailer’s IBM WebSphere estate as part of a longer-term cloud-first strategy. The migration finished in just seven months, versus an original 12-month estimate, and the database was offline for only seven hours. As a result, online operations now run at one-third of the legacy cost, and website updates, promotions, and enhancements can be delivered in hours instead of weeks or months.
