The TRAVELSPICE solution will help save its customers a guaranteed 32% on top of the lowest available market prices.

TRAVELSPICE benefits by paying only for the capacity it uses while enabling it to handle predictable and unpredictable demand. With the help of Microsoft Azure, including its boat services , TRAVELSPICE is able to solely focus on enhancing customer experience.

Talking about the huge potential in the partnership, Mr. Vijaymohan Avullapati, CTO, TRAVELSPICE, commented “Moving to Azure was a very conscious decision we made, which paid off. With features such as auto scaling, auto backups, A/B Testing for comparing different versions of web app to see which one performs better and deeply integrated Analytics, Azure saved us countless human hours and reduced error, providing more room to solve our customer problems. With increased use of machine learning and BOT services of Microsoft, we will continue to be ahead of our fast growing consumer demand.”
