British Airways– Visual Studio 2017 and Microsoft Azure Customer Story

British Airways it's one of the best-known brands in aviation we have about 40,000 employees there can be quite a difficult bunch of people to reach we had our new CEO come in Alex Cruz and he wanted to make sure he could get his message across to everyone wherever they were all the information was spread across multiple different sources they had to use a number of logins we had a number of senior employees do have British Airways issued equipment but the vast majority of them don't have those we wanted to make a level playing field in that sort of sense and creating the app is the platform to do that many of our apps in the recent past are being built on the iOS platform it's a default platform but we've had trouble moving it to other platforms we used Microsoft Visual Studio 2017 to developers Ameren forms app that gives us 95% code reuse across all of the platforms that we were targeting which was iOS Android and Windows Phone visual studio team services and summer in test cloud particularly allowed us to iterate quickly through several releases of the application because we were able to check as we went along that our tests were still passing and the product was still robust enough to deploy and we were able to add extra features quickly without worrying about lengthy regression tests for our back-end services we use as your application services and also as your sequel database to provide the data resources to the application and to provide integration with our other back-end systems to achieve single sign-in for the application we have federated across from Azure Active Directory to our Oracle access management and that was fantastic that was the equivalent of putting a very old car on the moon it feels like a great achievement to know that they're finding a better experience it's working really well for us and we hope that this is the beginning of a very fruitful relationship you
