Case Study: InterContinental Hotels Group achieves global IT visibility and hybrid cloud efficiency with Microsoft Azure

IHG turns to hybrid cloud for better IT alignment

InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG) sought to better align its global IT operations with its broader business goals. The hotel company needed to gain a holistic view of its worldwide infrastructure to support its move to an Agile development approach and standardize its IT solutions. To meet this challenge, IHG turned to vendor Microsoft and its Azure security and management services, including Azure Automation and Azure StorSimple.

Microsoft's solution provided IHG with a comprehensive, global view of its hybrid cloud and on-premises environments with minimal administrative overhead. The implementation delivered immediate results, including a 70% savings on storage with Azure StorSimple and near-real-time operational insights that improved troubleshooting and system availability. The ease of deployment and the valuable data aggregated enabled IHG's technology team to become more agile and data-driven, ultimately enhancing the experience for its employees and guests.
