Migrating a bank’s workload to the cloud

The bank's main goals were to migrate its workloads to the cloud to maintain its technological leadership. This move was strategically aimed at reducing development costs and accelerating innovation. The project also focused on enabling the bank to deliver new functionalities faster and run tests more efficiently through a new cloud strategy and Landing Zone.

The project used both Microsoft Azure and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure to effectively leverage the robust capabilities of Microsoft platform solutions alongside a private cloud environment. By integrating these two powerful cloud services, we aimed to enhance operational efficiency and flexibility.

The method ensured readiness by pairing a specific workload migration plan with the organization's preparation to operate in the cloud. This involved creating the right teams, identifying roles, and building necessary competencies. A best-practice "Landing Zone" was implemented, and the project concluded with dedicated training and knowledge transfer to prepare the bank's team for future development.

The bank gained the ability to deliver new functionalities faster and run tests more efficiently. The project, including dedicated training and the new Landing Zone, also significantly enhanced the client’s cloud capabilities, supporting its strategic goals of reducing development costs and accelerating innovation.
