A Canadian travel booking company forecasted its data and users to increase tenfold in the coming years as e-commerce adoption accelerated across its industry. To support this growth, the IT leadership recognized that they needed the flexibility and scalability of the cloud. In less than five months, Pythian designed, executed and completed the project without disrupting the business.

Today, the online travel company is using Google Cloud and BigQuery to:

  • Scale to support ongoing growth with no capital investments
  • Uncover trends and business opportunities with data insights
  • Control and govern its data to mitigate risk and enforce compliance
