Case Study: Hawaiian Airlines boosts development speed and productivity with Microsoft Visual Studio Team Services

Hawaiian Airlines - Customer Case Study

Hawaiian Airlines faced significant challenges with its software development process as its distributed team grew. Their on-premises development tools had become sluggish, causing frustratingly long download and build times that hampered productivity and introduced risk. To address these issues, Hawaiian Airlines partnered with Microsoft and its implementation partner, blndspt Consulting, to adopt Microsoft Visual Studio Team Services.

The solution involved migrating the airline's development tooling to the cloud-based Microsoft Visual Studio Team Services hosted on Microsoft Azure. This move eliminated the need for costly on-premises hardware, reduced administrative overhead, and provided a 50% lower total cost of ownership. The results were dramatic: branch synchronization became 500% faster, build times improved by 400%, and latency was reduced by 30%. Microsoft's solution enabled a highly streamlined, agile process that allowed Hawaiian Airlines to deliver higher quality software features to the business much faster.
