The customer has an application that features a collection of golf courts, that allows users to find venues and book them as per availability.
Customer wanted a seamless integration of messaging to the existing services, so that users of the website could be instantly notified on successful booking. He also wanted them to receive updates such as cancellation or re-allotment immediately.
The client was trying to use independent services to manage the end-to-end needs of his business and this was difficult as manual intervention was required to transfer data from one service to the other. Any changes they needed to make were time consuming, and test cycles were getting longer.
The management understood that having an infrastructure that would scale with the company would be invaluable. They were also clear that they did not want to invest in a datacentre.
The Power Centre Private Limited (PCPL) technical team went through cycles of discussion where it was mutually agreed upon that AWS would provide the opportunity to turn their application into a wider platform that would help them interact more effectively and therefore provide a better service to customers.
All the services they required could be integrated in to one unified architecture.
Customer was very happy with the advantages he saw from this solution -
