WestJet's Global Web Presence Takes Off with HP Autonomy


(ENP Newswire Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) ENP Newswire - 18 March 2014 Release date- 17032014 - PALO ALTO, Calif.- HP Autonomy today announced that WestJet, Canada's most preferred airline, has selected HP Autonomy's Marketing Optimization suite to deliver an engaging, relevant, and intuitive web experience.



With more than 9,800 employees and over 85 destinations in Canada, the U.S., Mexico, the Caribbean, Central America and Europe, WestJet continues to expand its operations and business.

Additionally, WestJet valued the open, scalable nature of the HP Autonomy suite, which allows the marketing organization to easily combine assets from its various web properties without the need for daily IT support.
