Digital Transformation When Goliath is Not a Competitor But a Global Pandemic

How do you transform your IT – technologies, workforce, skill and culture - while the business is - disrupted to its maximum?

How do you cope with losing 1/3 of your IT resources overnight?

How do you still increase your deployment speed?

How do you enable an international workforce to work seamlessly on new features?


TUI had started to transform its business and digital identity even before Covid-19 came around. The pandemic has obliged us to fasten, stop or change priorities dramatically and hence, had a noticeable impact on our DevOps journey, too. Yet, we decided to look at the good of the crisis and are still in the process of laying the foundation for our future – and it's going to be a bright one!


Examples are:

Full remote working helped us integrate a lot of cross-cultural multinational teams with ease

Communities and coaching of teams

investment in the current workforce
