Case Study: South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority achieves greater resilience and agility with Nasstar and Microsoft Azure

Reshaping South Yorkshire’s public transport with Microsoft Azure

The South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority (SYMCA) sought to enhance its public transport information websites by moving to a cloud-based platform. Motivated by the need for greater scalability and security, SYMCA faced challenges with its on-premise hosting and required expertise for a smooth migration. They partnered with vendor Nasstar for its Microsoft Azure expertise to re-platform a key application and achieve their digital transformation goals.

Nasstar implemented a solution on Microsoft Azure, making the website more resilient and secure with features like Azure Front Door WAF. The implementation of automated CI/CD pipelines through Azure DevOps provided SYMCA with increased development agility and streamlined workflows. The result is a efficient, secure, and resilient platform that reliably serves the public and supports SYMCA's long-term digital strategy.
