Flight Centre soars into new cloud with oobe
Shares
Travel agent Flight Centre has selected Australian technology provider oobe to migrate its key Citrix platforms to Microsoft Azure, in a move expected to gain efficiencies, save costs, and future-proof the business.
ASX-listed Flight Centre operates over 550 stores in 10 countries, and despite the downturn in travel during the COVID-19 pandemic, Flight Centre has remained busy with over 2,000 concurrent Citrix users daily processing over one billion dollars of travel refunds and helping travellers manage their plans.
Flight Centre deploys several technologies enabling digital workspace services for its employees and business partners, with Citrix at the centre. Flight Centre has managed and maintained Citrix in-house, but is making the move away from a traditionally deployed and managed Citrix platform to the Citrix Cloud product suite on Microsoft Azure. The company expects its shift to the public cloud to provide it with a platform to cater for all of today’s use cases, as well as whatever comes next.
