Case Study: Finnair achieves cloud modernisation and cost savings with Nordcloud

Using Nordcloud’s unique Managed Cloud Migration approach, Finnair achieved a complete data centre exit in just 7 months

Finnair, Finland’s flagship airline, was facing the end of its data centre contract and needed to move roughly 400 servers and 70 applications to AWS within a tight seven-month window. Working with Nordcloud, Finnair had to balance a complex legacy estate, limited documentation, and the disruption caused by Covid-19 while deciding which systems should be lift-and-shifted and which required modernisation.

Nordcloud delivered Managed Application Modernisation, helping Finnair rearchitect and replatform about 20 applications while also completing the broader cloud migration. The result was an on-time data centre exit, lower costs through capacity and licence savings, reduced technical and security risk, and a double-digit TCO reduction target on track to be achieved. Finnair also gained access to native AWS services and a stronger cloud foundation for future growth.
