Case Study: Expedia achieves faster IT fulfillment and major automation savings with Scalr

Improving IT Request and Fulfillment Efficiency At Expedia

Expedia, a major online travel company, faced a challenge with inefficient and manual IT provisioning processes. This friction slowed developer productivity and increased the time to market for new products. To address this, they partnered with the cloud management platform vendor Scalr to help build their highly integrated, self-service Hybrid Cloud Framework.

The solution implemented using Scalr provided a single pane of glass for managing their multi-cloud environment, which included Amazon Web Services and OpenStack. This enabled end-to-end automation, vendor agnosticism, and balanced self-service for developers with governance for IT. As a result, Expedia saved an estimated 20 effort-years of manual labor, launched over 20,000 instances, and achieved viral adoption from developers within 90 days, significantly accelerating their innovation cycle.
