Case Study: Major Online Retailing Company achieves a confident cloud platform choice and best-value deal with Pythian

Major Online Retailer Adopts A Cloudfirst Strategy with the Help of Pythian Cloud Consulting

Major Online Retailing Company, a US$2 billion US retailer, needed to migrate two very large on-premises data centers to the public cloud and faced a major decision around vendor selection, cost, performance, and return on investment. The company turned to Pythian Cloud Consulting for vendor-agnostic strategic advice to assess cloud readiness, plan the migration, and weigh public cloud options.

Pythian provided business and technical consulting, including a cloud planning assessment, migration strategy, and support during vendor presentations and negotiations. Pythian recommended a service-oriented approach instead of a simple lift-and-shift, helping the retailer optimize operations and reduce costs. As a result, Major Online Retailing Company chose the best-fit cloud platform with confidence and negotiated the best deal for its needs, while improving flexibility, performance, and cost control.
