Rackspace Technology has announced that BFC Group Holdings (BFC) is shifting its core application and supporting systems to Amazon Web Services (AWS). The migration creates a robust platform for BFC Group to focus on delivering seamless financial services to customers without the complexity of managing and maintaining a vast data centre.
Rackspace Technology has helped BFC Group migrate its core application and supporting systems to the AWS public cloud while providing ongoing management and consultancy services.
“Digital transformation is a business imperative for the modern enterprise. By leveraging our global expertise and technology, BFC Group has maintained its position as the leading money transfer service in the region while improving the customer experience. The scalability of public cloud means BFC Group can easily expand across boundaries with a consistent level of service no matter the country,” said George Pawlyszyn, General Manager, Middle East and Africa, Rackspace Technology.
Before completing the migration, BFC Group saw an immediate uplift in critical performance measures, such as transactions processed per second (TPS) and customer experience. Resiliency in the system has improved, and uptime has increased to 99.99% compared to 99.95% with its on-premises environment.
The strategic migration has also eliminated the hassle and expense of managing in-house data centres, enabling BFC Group to invest more resources into innovation and service improvements.
