A Northdoor case study about Best Western GB’s migration of over 100 of public-facing websites to Microsoft Azure.
Northdoor moved Best Western GB to the latest versions of Microsoft Windows and Microsoft SQL Server.
The Challenge
Best Western GB hosts more than 100 websites for its member hotels. As the company approached the end of its existing contract with its managed services provider, it wanted to increase flexibility, reduce costs and accelerate new releases.
The Solution
- Chose Northdoor to update and migrate its existing website infrastructure to the Azure cloud
- Northdoor refined and upgraded systems before ensuring a smooth migration to the cloud
The Benefits
Assisted by Northdoor, Best Western GB achieved a rapid, trouble-free migration to the cloud. In addition to significantly reducing costs and improving availability, the new environment on Azure – supported by Northdoor in its role as CSP – enables Best Western GB to adapt its services easily as requirements change.
The result
Following the non-disruptive migration to Azure, BestWestern GB now has a stable, flexible, cost-efficient platform. Northdoor’s experience and project management skills helped reduce risk and meet the tight deadline for migration.
On the financial front, running on Azure has significantly reduced costs for Best Western GB, enabling the company to free up cash for investment in other projects.
