The problem
A regional bank was running 80% of its core systems on ageing on-premise infrastructure. Rising maintenance costs, slow release cycles, and an upcoming NCA audit created an urgent need to migrate — without touching live banking operations.
What we did
Designed a phased migration strategy using the Cloud Adoption Framework. Migrated all non-critical workloads first, then core banking systems in controlled windows overnight. Implemented cloud security controls aligned to NCA and SAMA from day one.
The outcome
Full migration completed with zero downtime. Infrastructure costs reduced by 34%. NCA audit passed without a single flag. Release cycles cut from 6 weeks to 5 days.
