Integrating Flyelephant with AWS Services to Establish Information Systems and Enhance Business Value  

Since 2006, the core members of Flyelephant have been involved in C2C (Consumer-to-Consumer) systems and UGC (User-Generated Content) platforms. Through our services, Flyelephant enables customer success by offering expertise in e-commerce customization, system architecture planning, visual concept design, user interface design, user experience design, information system integration, data analysis, and data extraction presentation. We assist customers in achieving their business goals and missions by facilitating the establishment and implementation of information systems, using data-driven insights to support their objectives.

Customer needs

As business expands, our self-built data center has gradually become outdated and insufficient to meet the growing demands. Upgrading versions in response to the needs of IT information systems or expanding hardware servers and storage equipment requires a significant amount of time for evaluation and substantial budget investments. Over the long term, this not only proves time-consuming and labor-intensive for the enterprise but also lacks flexibility, potentially adding to the workload of the IT team.

The prioritization of system stability and high quality for customer satisfaction has led to the decision to adopt AWS. This involves reducing the need for additional hardware and software purchases, phasing out obsolete equipment, and updating the overall infrastructure. This includes replacing and integrating existing devices, migrating existing workloads to AWS, and transitioning to SaaS services to meet requirements, thereby reducing IT management demands. The adoption of AWS Cloud Services Enhancing IT System Flexibility has allowed us to optimize resources, scale according to demand, and provide a more responsive and agile IT environment.

We plan to prioritize the implementation of various AWS services such as Amazon ECS, Amazon S3, and AWS RDS. The anticipated benefits of this migration include increased server availability, ensuring stable and uninterrupted service quality. Additionally, with the integration of AWS Automated Cloud Backup, backup tasks will be automated, reducing the need for manual intervention and allowing personnel to focus on other tasks. The automation of backups is a key step in ensuring business continuity and reducing potential data loss risks.
