Case Study: OFX (international payments provider) achieves secure, scalable AWS migration with Rackspace Technology

International Payments Provider Achieves Transformative Migration to AWS

OFX is a global online foreign-exchange and payments provider (with rates up to 75% better than many banks) that serves customers across 55 currencies and operates from offices worldwide. Continued growth and a colocation-based, multi-territory production environment made development and testing slow and complex—engineers lacked control and couldn’t recreate production environments reliably—so OFX sought a partner to rearchitect its applications on AWS rather than perform a simple lift-and-shift.

Working with Rackspace and its Fanatical Support for AWS, OFX completed a tailored migration and rearchitecture to a managed AWS platform. The move delivered production-like testing parity, dramatically faster development and security-change cycles (security changes that once took six weeks now fit within a single release), and improved velocity, scalability and flexibility—enabling OFX to innovate more quickly while running on a secure, globally supported cloud hosting solution.
