Zero-Downtime Migration
Migrating financial applications with zero downtime and zero data loss, maintaining transaction processing throughout the cutover.
Cloud Migration
AWS Cloud Migration for Fintech
We migrate fintech platforms to AWS with zero-downtime cutover strategies that maintain regulatory compliance throughout the transition — from legacy data centers to cloud-native financial infrastructure.
- The current estate is inventoried.
- Assessment models post-migration TCO and a 7R path per workload.
- Rehost moves what should move as-is, with MGN or DMS where they fit.
- Refactor lands what should land on managed services or containers.
- Cutover waits for the agreed window.
- The workload is live on AWS with the roster still attached.
Key Challenges We Solve
Compliance Continuity
Maintaining PCI DSS, SOC 2, and regulatory compliance during migration without gaps in audit coverage.
Database Migration
Migrating financial databases with transaction-level consistency using DMS, maintaining referential integrity across systems.
Regulatory Approval
Documenting the migration for regulatory review, including risk assessments, rollback plans, and compliance mappings.
Our Approach
Phased Migration Strategy
Migrate non-critical systems first, validate compliance, then migrate core financial systems with proven patterns and rollback plans.
Parallel Run Validation
Run legacy and AWS systems in parallel to validate data consistency and performance before final cutover.
Compliance Documentation
Migration documentation packages that satisfy regulatory review — risk assessments, control mappings, and audit trail continuity.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a fintech cloud migration take?
A typical fintech migration takes 3-9 months depending on complexity. Simple web applications migrate in 4-6 weeks. Core banking and payment processing systems with compliance requirements take 6-9 months with parallel run validation.
Can we maintain PCI DSS compliance during migration?
Yes. We design migrations to maintain continuous PCI DSS compliance by migrating into pre-validated compliant environments, running parallel systems during transition, and documenting the migration for your QSA.
What is the rollback strategy for financial system migration?
Every migration phase includes a documented rollback procedure. Database migrations use DMS with continuous replication, allowing instant failback. Application migrations use DNS-based cutover with sub-minute rollback capability.
