Case Study
Marriott

Growth for a company often comes with change, which can provide its own set of challenges. Providing a stable enterprise application, aligning with new technologies, rolling out new features to meet the needs of the business, and giving users a consistent experience are often competing priorities for the enterprise. What’s the best way to maintain productivity and usability as an application grows well beyond its original mission?

TECHNOLOGIES

The Situation

Marriott was an early adopter of web-based technologies, having built many critical business applications that leveraged early technologies such as Java applets and Java Server Pages (JSPs). These technologies, however, eventually impeded its ability to iterate and provide a modern user experience. As more users came to rely on these systems, the effort required to maintain and grow the applications became increasingly difficult to manage, blocking high priority business objectives.
