The brief

What a Retailer Asks of Its Cloud.

Every opening adds outlets, accounts and systems faster than anyone can track them. These four came from the two retail briefs we delivered.

  1. Brief 01

    10

    Countries of outlets, with spend nobody could trace to a department, region or workload.

    From the Malabar Gold & Diamonds brief

  2. Brief 02

    1 view

    Of AWS usage that finance needed, out of many separate accounts.

    From the Malabar Gold & Diamonds brief

  3. Brief 03

    250+

    Outlets in South India, on an on-premises SAP estate that couldn’t keep pace.

    From the Whitemart brief

  4. Brief 04

    VPN-only

    Access to the application, restricted to authorised people.
