What changes when it is banking
Lift-and-shift is fast and leaves the savings on the table; re-architecting is slower and unlocks them. Most estates warrant a mix, decided workload by workload.
In banking, core banking systems are not to be touched, so everything integrates around them. That single fact reshapes how cloud migration has to be built here, the guardrails, the approval points and the evidence trail are design inputs rather than things bolted on before go-live.
The workload we are most often asked to take on first is branch reporting, usually integrated against CRM. We build the smallest thing that proves the case, put it in front of real users, and expand only what earns its keep.
Deployed across regulated and unregulated sectors, with audit trails where the regulator expects them. We hand over with runbooks, tests and a team that knows how it works, not a dependency.
The sector constraints we design around
- Defining constraint
- core banking systems are not to be touched, so everything integrates around them
- Regulations in scope

Cloud Migration workloads in banking
- account opening documentation
- AML alert triage
- customer service automation
- loan file assembly
- branch reporting
What is included
- Inventory of every workload, dependency and integration before planning
- Cost model comparing current spend against realistic cloud spend
- Migration approach per workload rather than one strategy for all
- Staged cutover with rollback at each step
- Security posture, network design and access control
- Post-migration cost optimisation, because the first bill is never the last word
Questions from this sector
Will this touch our core banking system?
No. We integrate through supported interfaces and read replicas, never by modifying the core.
How do you handle AML false positives?
Context enrichment and tuned scoring so alert volume matches investigator capacity, with every decision explainable in a case file.
Will cloud reduce our costs?
Sometimes, and not automatically. Variable and spiky workloads usually save; steady heavy compute often does not. The cost model in week one gives you the real answer for your estate.
Can we migrate without downtime?
For most workloads, yes, with staged cutover and parallel running. Some database migrations need a short planned window, which we rehearse rather than improvise.
Should we go multi-cloud?
Rarely, unless you have a specific reason. Multi-cloud doubles operational complexity and most organisations do not recover that cost in resilience or leverage.
