Sourced Group accelerates Singapore Airlines' cloud adoption journey; plays key role in migrating critical applications to the AWS Cloud and modernising application development processes
SINGAPORE, SYDNEY and TORONTO, June 13, 2019 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --

- Essential frameworks delivered in six weeks; 
- 14x increase in application update velocity 

Sourced Group (Sourced), a global IT consulting firm specialising in 
large-scale cloud transformations, is pleased to be engaged by Singapore 
Airlines (SIA) in its digital transformation program.  Working jointly with 
SIA, Sourced helped modernise the airline's application development process by 
establishing a new cloud delivery pipeline.  As part of the engagement, Sourced 
also helped migrate applications from SIA's data centre to the AWS Cloud and 
provided training in cloud and modern DevOps practices.

Cloud adoption and application development modernisation are elements of SIA's 
digital transformation program.  The program will enable the airline to better 
serve its global customer base through increased agility and innovation.

Sourced delivered the essential AWS Cloud infrastructure, application pipelines 
and compliance templates (including the extensive security and controls 
necessary to meet regulatory requirements) in six weeks using its Cloud at 
Scale™ Core Foundations program.  The program shortens lead times and enables 
enterprise clients in regulated industries to realise early benefits of cloud 
adoption.

Sourced was also involved in the adoption of modern application development 
methods, including continuous delivery and rolling immutable infrastructure to 
enable high velocity application updates. Through automation using serverless 
technologies such as AWS Lambda, SIA can make changes to an application in a 
matter of minutes and build multiple versions of the application per business 
day without downtime using Sourced's blue/green deployment methodology.  This 
rapid creation of environments and dramatic increase in production release 
velocity has been key to accelerating innovation and customer outcomes in 
Singapore Airlines.

In addition, SIA gained heightened visibility into key operations with the 
release of an early warning system that provides the airline with real-time 
reporting and SLA management of their downstream APIs, dependant services and 
providers. Sourced further transformed SIA's operational environment with the 
implementation of real-time booking metrics, replacing a daily manual reporting 
process with automated, five-minute interval updates of overall booking loads.

"We are delighted to be a strategic partner for SIA in support of their 
cloud-first strategy," says John Painter, Managing Director – ASEAN, Sourced 
Group. "Working closely with the SIA team, we were able to rapidly deliver a 
secure and resilient cloud native platform built on AWS and introduce new 
application development concepts to the organisation. It's exciting to work 
with an innovative and forward-thinking client that shares an aligned vision. 
This is a fantastic direction for SIA, and key to long term strategic success. 
We're deeply committed to the future success of SIA and the ASEAN region and 
look forward to continuing a long-term, mutually rewarding relationship with 
both."
