As long-standing partners, we oversee ANWB’s online presence, including the monitoring and technical management of its infrastructure. This responsibility extends to ensuring the platform's reliability, as the press service relies on rapid information dissemination. Timely information delivery is paramount, with press service notification within thirty minutes, underscoring the platform's business-critical nature.
ANWB’s platform holds significant social impact, broadcasting vital information like traffic updates and snowfall reports that are widely distributed and broadcasted on the radio. We've engineered a resilient and elastic setup to handle high-traffic peaks, ensuring continual reliability. Our commitment to reliability and responsiveness ensures that ANWB's services continue to reach millions, making our partnership not just business-critical but also a societal asset.
A scalable service for TCO reductionANWB sought a scalable service to reduce total cost of ownership (TCO) and enhance flexibility for instant responses to changing social and weather conditions. We provided a simple yet effective solution: establishing a private virtual cloud that allows for monthly scalability. This empowers ANWB to easily respond to weather and trending events. We delivered a hybrid platform with dedicated customer services, promoting growth and easing application control. This platform is designed to handle high traffic during peak periods, such as snowstorms, thanks to seamless scaling. Rapid responsiveness during such events is guaranteed. Our close relationship with ANWB and on-site support are hallmarks of our approach. Prioritizing customer intimacy, we offer additional social interactions like sailing trips and regular office visits. New team members are introduced to maintain a personalized touch. Our solution has significantly reduced ANWB's costs through scalability and pay-per-use arrangements. The website remains robust during peak times, ensuring a stable user experience.
ReferencesEven before we formally partnered, we proactively offered a solution that helped ANWB at a crucial moment. We delivered ad hoc support by bringing ten servers in the air, so ANWB could precede their survey among their members. The solution included urgent action and a dedicated team to realize this.
