Overview

Our client is a major government bank dedicated to delivering secure, efficient, and innovative banking services. With a strong focus on modernization and compliance, the bank sought to enhance its data infrastructure to meet the demands of a rapidly evolving digital landscape.

Business Requirement and Challenges

The bank had several key objectives for its cloud modernization project: migrating and modernizing their data platform to support better decision-making and operational efficiency, ensuring adherence to stringent regulatory requirements such as NDMO and NDI, and reducing operational costs by consolidating data engineering solutions using Informatica.
However, the bank faced multiple challenges in achieving these objectives, including outdated legacy systems that led to inefficiencies and high maintenance costs, the critical need to meet stringent compliance standards, and the high costs associated with maintaining disparate data engineering solutions.

Our Solution

To address these challenges, we implemented a comprehensive cloud modernization strategy:

Developed a modern data platform and cloud migration strategy tailored to the bank's needs.

Executed a 'lift and shift' migration of existing data platforms to Azure, enhancing scalability and performance.

Migrated SQL Servers to Azure Synapse and Azure Data Lake Storage (ADLS) for improved data analytics capabilities.

Transitioned PowerCenter and SSIS to cloud-based data integration solutions, streamlining data processes and reducing costs.
