Synechron was selected by a global, tier-one investment bank to facilitate an Enterprise Cloud Migration of entire bank applications to a private cloud as a Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS). The migration was motivated by three primary objectives – enterprise-wide technical upgrades and standardization, cost-cutting, and Safety and Soundness.

Due to quantity and disparate nature of the applications flagged for migration, Synechron performed a thorough application analysis consisting of quality and compatibility analysis, code analysis, code remediation, cloud service classifications, Safety and Soundness examinations, cloud-tech upgrades and application encryptions. Lastly, Synechron analyzed and mapped internal and external dependencies, third-party services, unmanaged code, external libraries and an exhaustive list of all other variables.

Synechron developed a three-phase migration roadmap, calling for the migration of 200 applications per quarter. For Phase 1, we selected ten low-risk, non-business essential apps to test and tune the process. Phase 2 consisted of migrating more complex applications that may handle confidential data and require higher security measures. Lastly, in Phase 3 the technically complex and business-critical applications would be migrated. To deliver a seamless service transition with improved security and compliance, Synechron performed ongoing testing throughout the entire migration process.
