Overcoming Implementation Barriers
“The project has been smooth and seamless. Megan and Angelo are true professionals and know their jobs very well. It has been my honour to work with them both.”

Mercy Ships had wanted to make the transition to the StarRez cloud for a little over a year, however, were unable to find the funds given the nature of their charitable work. Recognizing the importance of their global health mission, StarRez decided to discount the migration costs in order to make the migration attainable.
“First, I would like to thank your organization, as a whole, for recognizing our mission and the countless lives we are changing by giving away free surgeries. Thanks to Christina for taking on the effort and getting the cost down to a place where our non-profit could consider a move like this.”

Tight Timeline
StarRez and Mercy Ships came together to complete their cloud migration in less than 40 hours from start to finish. StarRez and Mercy Ships worked together to review their technology needs; ultimately, reducing their server complexity and ensuring a seamless transition and experience for their users.
Streamlining Operations
“Having StarRez in the cloud will streamline this operation for all involved, freeing up our time to focus on other areas that require our attention.”
