Couchbase gains AWS honour for powering travel sector digital shift
Couchbase has received Amazon Web Services (AWS) Travel and Hospitality Competency status. This recognises the company for its work supporting digital transformation initiatives among organisations in the travel and hospitality sector.
Industry focus
The AWS Travel and Hospitality Competency is awarded to partners with a proven record of technical expertise and customer success in this sector. AWS applies a technical validation process and conducts a review of customer references before awarding this competency. The programme aims to connect travel and hospitality clients with partners who can support their modernisation and technology goals.
Technical proficiency
Couchbase has implemented its database platform to support a range of operations across travel and hospitality businesses. Use cases span marketing and sales, customer experience management, financial operations, and IT infrastructure. Its cloud database platform is designed to power real-time applications and is used in backend operations as well as digital services directly accessed by guests.
Customer impact
Couchbase's platform is used by a number of travel and hospitality companies. These include large global brands such as Marriott, United Airlines, Carnival, and Amadeus. The company states that its database enables high levels of performance and reliability, which are required in critical operational environments. It is designed to support business transactions and data access in scenarios with or without consistent internet connectivity.
Data strategy
The database platform supports applications that make use of artificial intelligence as part of their operation. Couchbase highlights its ability to manage both transactional and analytical workloads, as well as mobile and AI-driven processes within a single architecture. Features include scalable data management and tools for building both customer-facing digital interfaces and backend automated processes.
Operational efficiency
Couchbase positions its solutions as supporting reductions in total cost of ownership for travel and hospitality enterprises. It emphasises availability, performance, and operational transparency. The company offers licensing terms that it says provide flexibility for customers operating in rapidly changing environments.
