Case Study: Thomson Reuters accelerates cloud migration and certifies 250+ engineers with Pluralsight

T-shaped skills, cloud-shaped victories

Thomson Reuters, a Toronto‑based multinational in media and enterprise legal and tax software, needed to move decades of on‑premises data center operations to the public cloud to scale faster, improve time‑to‑market, and meet region‑specific data‑residency rules like GDPR. Maintaining both data centers and cloud environments slowed product delivery and increased operational strain, so the company sought a way to accelerate migration while preserving security and sensible governance.

Service Development implemented a T‑shaped training strategy—broad cloud fluency across the organization plus deep, role‑specific courses and labs through A Cloud Guru—so teams could migrate and operate on AWS/Azure securely and independently. The program produced 250+ certified engineers, supported the migration of hundreds of applications and petabytes of data, reduced basic support requests, and set the stage to move billions of documents to cloud storage as Thomson Reuters continues to scale its certification goals.
