MeteoGroup, a private weather and advanced technology company, leverages its products and services to help customers improve weather-related decision-making

The first step in the company’s digital journey was to migrate its on-premise data centers to the cloud and optimize its infrastructure using automation and DevOps best practices. MeteoGroup turned to EPAM due to its existing partnership and cloud expertise.

As a result of EPAM’s work in delivering a new cloud solution, the company was able to better manage vast amounts of data, improve products and services for its customer base, dramatically reduce costs and free up its resources to focus on innovative, revenue-generating projects.
