Zero-downtime cloud migration and DevOps transformation

Regional Financial Services Firm

A regional lender needed to exit an aging data center without disrupting regulated, always-on transaction systems. We designed a phased migration with parallel-run validation and stood up a modern CI/CD and observability practice.

The challenge

A data-centre lease was expiring against a hard date, and the systems inside it processed regulated transactions that could not be taken offline. Releases were quarterly, manual, and rehearsed over weekends because nobody trusted a rollback.

What we built

We modelled total cost of ownership across providers before committing, then migrated in phases with parallel-run validation on live traffic — every workload proved itself against production before the old one was retired. Alongside the move we built infrastructure-as-code, CI/CD pipelines, and observability the internal team now runs themselves.

Delivered through our Cloud Migration and IT Support practices.

The outcome

The cutover completed with zero minutes of unplanned downtime, annual infrastructure spend dropped 28%, and release cadence went from quarterly to weekly inside the first six months.
