Chartered Accountants Academy operates with a purpose to make available academic, entrepreneurial, and best practice leadership in Chartered Accountancy and the finance professions, with technology being a key enabler.
Chartered Accountants Academy needed a low latency cloud platform for hosting its website in a secure and scalable manner. Chartered Accountants Academy had done their research and considered potential cloud platforms to deliver on their business objectives. Chartered Accountants Academy also needed the services of a trusted and experienced cloud service provider to design and deploy a suitable solution, and therefore approached Liquid C2.
Liquid Cloud and Cybersecurity took a consultative approach to understand Chartered Accountants Academy’s solution requirements. Based on insights gathered during the discovery phase, Liquid Cloud and Cybersecurity’ technical team then designed and deployed an appropriate solution which delivers the benefits of scalability and increased business agility for Chartered Accountants Academy. Some services that make up the designed solution include Amazon EC2, Data Transfer service and Amazon Route 53.
Following solution implementation, Chartered Accountants Academy realised significant improvements in website response time which helped to improve overall customer digital experience.

Transaction Capital leverages AWS cloud to enhance digital services
Transaction Capital is a listed investment holding company, trading on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE). Transaction Capital prides itself as a catalyst of unconventional potential by investing in and operating high-potential businesses in markets with historically low levels of client service and trust. This approach enables Transaction Capital to take advantage of untapped opportunities for disruption, innovation and high returns.
Transaction Capital had initially deployed some workloads on Amazon Web Services (AWS) cloud which hosted some of its business applications and was making payments for its AWS consumption via a credit card. Transaction Capital needed a trusted cloud service provider to partner with in order to provide an alternative billing mechanism as well as modernization of its AWS workloads. Transaction Capital engaged with Liquid C2 – Cloud and Cybersecurity in this regard.
Firstly, to tackle the billing challenge, Liquid C2 swiftly provided Transaction Capital with a billing mechanism that now allows Transaction Capital to receive a monthly invoice for its AWS consumption.
Post addressing the billing challenge, Liquid C2’s technical team then provided Transaction Capital with professional services to help modernise its existing architecture in alignment with recommended AWS best practices. This was done with a view to address latency challenges and ensure high availability of its workloads.
Transaction Capital successfully moved away from credit card billing to invoice-based billing from Liquid C2 for its AWS consumption. This also enables the business to take advantage of credit terms offered by Liquid C2.
By modernising its AWS architecture, significant improvements in latency were realised, enabling better digital experience for Transaction Capital’s end customers.
