World Kinect’s Seamless Migration to AWS: A Case Study
World Kinect embarked on a cloud transformation journey to modernize its IT infrastructure and support business growth. Partnering with Amazon Web Services (AWS), World Kinect successfully migrated critical applications, including the complex Oracle E-Business Suite, to the cloud. Key highlights of this transformation include:
- Enhanced Performance and Resiliency: Achieved a 20% performance improvement and reduced mean time to restore (MTTR) by 50%, ensuring high availability for critical operations.
- Increased Productivity: Boosted software deployments from 100 per quarter to 800 per month, resulting in a nearly 400% increase in developer productivity.
- Comprehensive Training: Implemented extensive AWS training for 85% of the IT workforce, empowering employees with modern cloud skills and enhancing career growth.
Josh McLean, our CIO, emphasizes the strategic importance of this partnership: “AWS not only offers products and services but also provides timely support and guidance on our learning journey.” This collaboration has positioned World Kinect for ongoing innovation and optimization, enabling us to meet evolving business needs and explore new opportunities, such as advanced analytics for power demand forecasting in Europe.
