Rackspace Technology Accelerates Momentum with Google Cloud Through Customer Transformations
November 23 2021 - 11:00AM
Rackspace Technology® (NASDAQ: RXT), a leading end-to-end
multicloud technology solutions company, today announced their 2020
Google Cloud Breakthrough North America Partner of the Year award
was due to successful migrations of IT environments to Google Cloud
for customers like, GoHenry, Mrs. T’s and Eagle Eye.
GoHenryRackspace Technology
supported GoHenry with its global growth plans by migrating
its IT environment to Google Cloud, delivering enhanced security
and scalability for the next-generation money app. Since migrating
99% of its services to Google Cloud, GoHenry, the prepaid Visa
debit card and app designed exclusively for 6-18-year-olds, doubled
its customer base by reaching one million customers. It also
sharply increased its revenue year-over-year as families
increasingly look to cashless solutions to help children become
skilled in money management.
As a premier partner for Google Cloud with over 370+ technical
certifications, Rackspace Technology supported GoHenry throughout
the entire migration process. The Google Cloud migration provides
GoHenry with the confidence to grow its business at scale and
speed, knowing its infrastructure will support the company’s – and
its customers’ – changing needs.
“16-18-year-olds today are digital natives. According to our
Youth Economy Report, they are choosing technology over cash and
this trend will only become more prominent,” Louise Hill,
Co-founder and Chief Operating Officer at GoHenry explained. “When
it comes to the immediacy and availability of service, they just
expect what they need to be there and working. Having a technology
partner like Rackspace Technology is therefore vital to ensure our
services are scalable, secure, and immediately available. Thanks to
this partnership, we are confident that we can empower our young
customers to be ambassadors of a new cashless society.”
Mrs. T’s PierogiesRackspace Technology migrated
Mrs. T’s Pierogies, the largest provider of frozen pierogies in the
United States, to Google Cloud.Rackspace Technology assisted the
pierogy-producer in migrations services, applications services, and
managed storage, which has helped the organization improve
forecasting, optimize promotions, and better manage its disaster
recovery efforts. Mrs. T’s has realized immediate benefits of the
upgraded system, with a 60 percent acceleration in their batch
transactions and on-screen end-user transactions.
“While this project started as a mandated technology project,
Rackspace’s work really opened up new doors for us to undergo a
massive digital transformation,” said Timothy Coyle, Director of
Information Systems & Technology at Mrs. T’s Pierogies. “Not
only did we migrate to Google Cloud seamlessly, but we were able to
retool IT infrastructure that is key to our core business success.
Rackspace Technology was a one-stop-shop, a single pane of glass
that truly took our technology stack to the next level.”
Due to Google Cloud’s tools and features, Mrs. T’s leadership
team now has access to real-time analytics, accelerating
forecasting and improving subsequent outcomes. Optimized trade
promotions provide more predictive business intelligence, and a new
disaster recovery program ensures Mrs. T’s a more dynamic, reliable
technology base.
Eagle Eye AIRRackspace Technology expanded its
support and services for Eagle Eye, by migrating the retail SaaS
technology firm's digital marketing platform, Eagle Eye AIR, to
Google Cloud, resulting in a 30% improvement in speed for point of
sales transactions. Eagle Eye AIR powers some of the world’s
largest customer loyalty and marketing promotion programs. The
platform integrates several business management and sales systems
to help retailers deploy hyper-personalized campaigns to drive
customer acquisition and retention.
Rackspace Technology expertise and management allowed Eagle Eye
to quickly migrate to Google Cloud. From there, Eagle Eye AIR
enabled retailers to oversee and manage their promotions in real
time. In addition, Eagle Eye AIR has adopted a more cloud native IT
model, adding Google BigQuery and Datastore to its current cloud
environment. As a result, Eagle Eye reports higher up time,
availability, and response times, leading to a 40% decrease in
support calls.
“It’s never been more important for retailers to use technology
solutions such as Eagle Eye AIR to delight their customers and to
foster loyalty. Thanks to Rackspace Technology, we migrated our
platform to Google Cloud in a matter of months rather than years
and have increased our global footprint dramatically saving us
millions of pounds in our ambition to become cloud native,” said
Steve Rothwell, Founder and CTO, Eagle Eye. “We no longer need to
manage hardware and data centers and so have embraced the world of
DevOps and agile platform management to run a truly 24/7 global
operations.”
"The key to our continued rapid growth and cloud adoption across
the market lies in the strength of innovative solutions for
customers like GoHenry, Mrs. T’s Pierogies, Eagle Eye AIR," said
Jeff DeVerter, Chief Evangelist, Rackspace Technology. “By working
with Google Cloud, we’re always focused on driving innovative
solutions, trust, success, and Fanatical Experience™ for our
customers.”
