Overview

FinTrust Capital, a US-based financial services firm, struggled with rising AWS costs, scalability limitations, and fragmented identity management. Their executive team also faced limited visibility into resource utilization, application performance, and compliance status. Bacancy designed and executed a structured AWS to Azure migration strategy, ensuring zero downtime for mission-critical workloads. The new Azure environment delivered 35% cost savings, elastic scalability with AKS, and centralized identity governance with Azure Active Directory, helping FinTrust achieve operational efficiency, compliance, and growth readiness.

Challenges & Solutions

Escalating AWS infrastructure costs with limited transparency into resource usage.

  • Solution: Our Azure developers migrated workloads to Azure Reserved Instances and optimized storage tiers. We also created executive dashboards in Azure Monitor and Cost Management, which provided real-time visibility and reduced overall cloud spend by 35%.

Legacy monolithic applications caused slow performance and poor scalability

  • Solution: We containerized and deployed applications on Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS). This approach enabled elastic scaling during high demand, improved application response times by 40%, and established a reliable foundation for future modernization.

Strict compliance and identity governance required secure access management

  • Solution: Our experts implemented centralized authentication and access control through Azure Active Directory with role-based policies. This strengthened identity governance, enhanced the firm’s security posture, and ensured strict compliance with financial industry regulations.

Mission-critical databases required migration with zero business downtime

  • Solution: With the help of our Azure migration services, we developed a phased strategy using Azure Database Migration Service and replication. The final cutover completed in under 30 minutes, ensuring uninterrupted operations and customer service.
