Pluralsight Empowers Nature’s Sunshine to Develop Microsoft Azure Skills and Move to the Cloud
February 26 2019 - 8:00AM
Pluralsight, Inc. (NASDAQ: PS), the enterprise technology learning
platform, today announced that Nature's Sunshine Products, Inc.
(NASDAQ: NATR), a leading natural health and wellness company
engaged in the manufacture and direct selling of nutritional and
personal care products, is using Pluralsight to quickly and
efficiently develop the latest technology skills needed to move its
infrastructure from on premises to Microsoft Azure.
Nature’s Sunshine markets and distributes nutritional and
personal care products through a global direct sales force of more
than 500,000 active independent managers, distributors and
customers in more than 40 countries. The company manufactures most
of its products through its own state-of-the-art facilities to
ensure its products continue to set the standard for the highest
quality, safety, and efficacy on the market today. Recognizing the
need to maximize its use of technology to better support customers
and increase revenue, Nature’s Sunshine turned to Pluralsight to
develop the technology skills that would enable the company to meet
its goals.
“Technologies are evolving quickly, and we feel the pressure to
keep up. We recently started using microservices from Microsoft
Azure as a new way to develop and modernize our systems,” said
Michel Danon, Chief Information Officer at Nature’s Sunshine. “With
Pluralsight, we are successfully developing the skills we need to
move to the cloud while increasing both the velocity and quality of
our code.”
Using the skills gained on Pluralsight, Nature’s Sunshine is
developing microservices and transferring its infrastructure from
on-prem to Azure cloud. The company identified six distinct
milestones for its cloud transformation. With Pluralsight, Nature’s
Sunshine has already completed one third of its milestones and is
confident it will reach the other targets in the near future. The
company’s developers, most of whom started as mainframe developers,
have now reskilled using Pluralsight to become Azure cloud
developers. As part of its cloud transformation, Nature’s Sunshine
is now running large-scale Cosmos databases on Azure and has
successfully implemented a new payment service.
“Pluralsight gives us a lot of security in rolling out new
technologies like our new payment service,” says Matt Tipping, Lead
Full Stack Developer and Scrum Master for Synergy Worldwide
Application Development. “The payment service was built in
something new, but everybody was able to come up to speed on the
new technology really quickly and know exactly what it was doing,
so we didn’t have to fear that it was going to break.”
