Dave Paulding, regional director UK, Middle East, Interactive Intelligence, says:
“The lowcosttravelgroup is a young and dynamic company and the nature of their business is very much suited to the flexibility that the cloud brings. The company frequently opens up in new markets in a range of different countries at relatively short notice, and this solution will help to support their global operations. The business is also seasonal, so the requirement was for a solution that would make it simple to scale up and scale down.”
“The lowcosttravelgroup was also looking for a very high level of functionality and the tailored CaaS solution incorporates everything it needs to meet all of its seasonality and growth needs. The company can effectively customise applications according to the situation and set pricing and terms, so they effectively pay as they use, and this is deployed on a global basis in any of their chosen markets.”
