OPPORTUNITY
Competitive advantage in the airline industry with a new version of the main website
Europe’s largest airline company determined that the legacy architecture of its main website was slowing down the company’s business operations such as buying tickets, booking accommodation, or renting cars.
They approached Euristiq for complex legacy software modernization services mainly focused on website rebuilding and redesigning which included migration to AWS and improvement of application’s interoperability.
SOLUTION
Micro front-end architecture implementation, new UI/UX and legacy software migration to AWS Cloud
The new architectural approach brought additional benefits for the legacy system and helped to improve the project’s maintainability and availability substantially.
Euristiq changed the architectural approach to the website and implemented micro front-end architecture which allows deploying different parts of the application separately with no need to redeploy the whole system. This architectural approach also improves the project’s maintainability and availability substantially.
Migration from Adobe Experience Manager to Amazon Web Services was a strategic cloud transformation requirement since the client was moving all their infrastructure to AWS. New UI/UX had to be introduced to the website, as the old version was obsolete and needed refreshment.
One of the critical requirements was the improvement of application’s interoperability as it could be a huge advantage for the company. The ability to quickly add third-party components significantly improves business operations. Euristiq implemented this architecture and integrated launchdarkly.com for A/B testing, boxever.com for user personalization, hotjar.com for UX analytics, newrelic.com for tech analytics. Now similar third-party tools can be added within weeks and not months as before.
RESULTS
Modernized website with 3x improved performance, user-centered design, and additional custom apps
Website performance was a top priority for legacy software modernization project to stay ahead of the competitors. Once Euristiq brought digital consulting expertise, scoped the requirements, defined key performance characteristics, and implemented changes to the website, its home page opens 3 times faster than before.
AWS cloud adoption, implementation of new UI/UX, the development of additional custom apps improved the company’s business operations. All these changes combined introduced cross-sales and upsales and increased conversion and revenue rates.
