THE CHALLENGE.
Recently, a well known California based retailer brand approached Pegasus One with something of a significant challenge on their hands. In an effort to better support their ongoing e-commerce strategies, they were looking for newer and innovative ways to guarantee continuous uptimes for users – no matter what.
In an era where more and more e-commerce retailers are cropping up all the time, a business’ competitive advantage suddenly has less to do with the products they sell and is more about the experience they’re able to offer. Ideally, that experience should be something that customers won’t be able to match anywhere else.
Luckily, the team at Pegasus One had more than a few ideas that could be used to help accomplish exactly that.
APPROACH.
Pegasus One was certainly the right fit for this task, as implementing the DevOps we have previously hosted and managed all such environments for the clients (using tools like Hybris, ASP4all and Amazon Web Services).
In the past, a series of established key performance indicators were used to guarantee performance. To create something that would continue to work well for years to come, something a bit more forward-thinking was in order.
After careful deliberation with the client, Pegasus One decided to deploy a new infrastructure for both hosting and for the security of their full web environment. At the same time, an AWS-based content delivery network (otherwise known as a CDN) solution was leveraged to enable site optimization.
RESULTS.
At the end of the project, Pegasus One was able to accomplish a number of key objectives on behalf of the client, all of which were identified as critical during our initial discussions. These include things like:
- Higher site efficiency: Thanks to 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year performance monitoring, the client’s site has never functioned better.
- Improved conversions: Thanks to the ways in which we were able to create shorter page-loading times, the client was able to implement a number of important features its users had been asking for – like quicker order processing. This had an almost immediate positive impact on conversion rates, among other factors.
