“Our teams have embraced the cloud journey and the skills they’ve gained in training with Flux7. We’ve seen a noticeable positive and enthusiastic spirit cultivated within our teams. I always stay excited about what’s ahead. I’m happy about what we’ve achieved so far, but I know we’re only scratching the surface of what we can achieve for the business.”
“Running on AWS, our system has already exceeded rates of over 500 transactions per second with seamless elasticity,”
“We’ve realized 100 percent uptime on our AWS cloud-based Above Property distributed reservation system since the initial deployment in 2017. That was not possible with our legacy on-premises CRS,”
“We worked closely with Flux7 and AWS to get familiar with AWS-native tooling and AWS security best practices. We consistently review our security setup and configurations.”
“Flux7 became a part of our team and was involved with our operation very closely. Though they are a separate entity, no one treated them as such. It felt like we were all in this journey together as they opened us up to the art of the possible on AWS.”
“Flux7 brought a training process and methodology to the table. They assigned homework to the team, embraced and insisted on questions during the daily standup, and provided hands-on training.”
“While in the building phase, we need people who are one hundred percent dedicated to the project, and that’s where the Flux7 team — and their AWS experience — came in. They have the know-how which allows them to work at increased speed, with decreased mistakes and greater throughput.”
