Amido Proves Containerisation is not OverHyped with Successful Roll out of Coats Web Application
Amido has been selected by Coats to help build a scalable platform that will help its customer base to manage its corporate responsibility during the supply chain process , furthering the company ’ s commitment to digitally transform its services .
The application went live in December 2016 and is one of the first enterprises to use Azure Container Services in a customer facing environment . Working with Amido , Coats successfully launched a web portal on a container based platform , marking this as the challenger to industry sceptics who define container solutions as simply ‘ hype .’
Amido ’ s recommendation to use containers came from Coats ’ requirements for an adaptable , scalable and easily manageable platform that would adhere to the strict regulations of international trading . With large investments from Amazon , Google and Microsoft , the option of containers is becoming a viable solution even at this stage of its infancy ; and over the next three years , Amido predicts that there will be a large rise in its implementation .
During the development stage of the container based platform , Coats and Amido highlighted that the skills required in maintaining this platform extended beyond the traditional enterprise skills . The market is seeing how enterprises of all sizes are harnessing powerful technology tools that require software engineers who are not only software coding savvy , but platform agnostic in terms of infrastructure development .
