Wood Mackenzie wanted to migrate its API infrastructure from a Kong Enterprise deployment hosted on Verisk’s system to an independently self-managed environment. The primary goal was to transition the 50 API workspaces to the Kong Konnect SaaS platform with zero disruption to ongoing operations. Additionally, Wood Mackenzie aimed to streamline API consumer management by integrating its identity provider for secure access control. The migration was critical for achieving complete infrastructure independence and operational continuity.
