Case Study: Causeway achieves rapid app deployment and greater agility with VMware vCloud Director

Agility Adds up to Better Customer Service for Causeway

Causeway is a UK SaaS provider of construction-sector software — including the Tradex eInvoicing platform used by hundreds of thousands of organisations — that needed to become more agile, cut costs and improve customer experience. The company was constrained by an on‑premise, co‑located legacy environment with heavy hardware overheads, slow manual deployments, poor capacity forecasting and frequent site visits to fix infrastructure issues.

Causeway migrated to a Secura Virtual Private Cloud built on VMware vCloud Director and vSphere 6, using vApp architecture and a fully managed service with strong BCP and pay‑as‑you‑go pricing. The move enabled rapid, automated app provisioning (cutting deployment time from weeks to hours), elastic scaling for peak demand, better disaster recovery and accurate capacity forecasting — reducing time‑consuming operational tasks and improving time‑to‑market and customer service.
