01
Background
The bank was operating on an aging data center infrastructure that struggled during peak usage days. With government planning a centralized solution, the bank wanted to avoid large one-time IT investments.
However, security and application performance remained major concerns, particularly for core banking and mobile applications.
02
Challenges
- Consultants required a 3-month proof of concept to validate cloud viability.
- The software vendor raised latency concerns, creating resistance to migration.
- Migration had to be completed within 6 hours to minimize mobile app downtime.
- Application vendor resistance slowed planning and approvals.
03
Our Approach
- Disaster Recovery Setup & Drill: Implemented DR and conducted a live drill to demonstrate application performance across all branches while DC was active.
- Vendor Collaboration: Enabled the application vendor to test performance over the existing network, addressing latency concerns.
- Cloud & Network Re-Design: Re-architected the cloud and network infrastructure for scalability and reliability.
- Security Assessment: Highlighted existing vulnerabilities and designed stronger security controls.
