Success Drivers
Streamlined Onboarding and Deployment: Boeing and AI worked to simplify the onboarding process from months to near real-time, allowing Boeing to rapidly bring in new programs, tenants, and users. In one month, they went from deploying two tenants to adding 26 new tenants and approximately 700 users.
Automation: Altitude’s automation capabilities empowered Boeing to integrate easy and secure AWS project migration into its workflow, resulting in faster deployment and reduced manual effort.
Standardization: Altitude offered Boeing a standardized environment across business units, including avionics, commercial aviation, and defense. This uniformity eliminated silos, ensuring consistent metrics and compliance across the organization.
Integration: The Altitude engineering team created a number of APIs that allowed Boeing to seamlessly integrate existing Boeing back office systems as well as automation with the BSF.
Security/Compliance: Altitude provided the ability to emulate government-like compliance regimes such as IL-5, while also adhering to international compliance regimes – enabling each tenant to adhere to their own required security and compliance guidelines in a single cloud environment.
Efficiency: Boeing’s software development teams could focus on delivering tools and solutions for customers without the burden of managing infrastructure, compliance, or security concerns.
Scalability: The platform accommodated a growing number of users and tenants, including international users from Australia, Canada, India, Poland, South Korea, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, and Ukraine.
Cost Management: Altitude offered the ability to separate out different cost items and allocate them individually to each tenant, enforcing programmatic budgets in accordance with each tenant’s unique contract.
Outcome
Boeing’s partnership with AI helped define its approach to software development in the cloud. By providing a standardized, automated, and scalable cloud environment, Altitude has enabled Boeing to concentrate on delivering innovative solutions to its customers and enhanced Boeing’s positioning as a leader in cloud-based software development within the aerospace and defense industry. This is evidenced by Boeing’s ability to spread adoption of the BSF capability to over 1,000 users across 9 countries in 8 weeks.
