Overview

Prism Purchases, a global retail enterprise with operations across Europe, the Middle East, Africa (EMEA), and Asia-Pacific (APAC), was facing rising infrastructure costs, increasing compliance requirements, and operational inefficiencies in its existing GCP environment. These issues affected performance and limited business agility, ultimately leading the enterprise to modernize its cloud infrastructure. To address this, Prism Purchases partnered with Bacancy. We successfully migrated their workloads to Microsoft Azure, enabling them to operate in a secure, scalable, and high-performing cloud environment that can seamlessly support future growth.

Challenges & Solutions

The client needed multiple environments, Dev, QA, UAT, and Production, migrated within a strict four-month deadline while ensuring zero disruption.

  • Solution: Our Azure migration consultant designed a phased migration strategy and automated environment provisioning using Terraform. By orchestrating cutovers with Azure DevOps pipelines, we ensured a seamless transition and completed the migration on time without a single escalation.

Rising costs on GCP, combined with limited enterprise-level pricing flexibility, were straining budgets.

  • Solution: We re-architected workloads for Azure, leveraging Hybrid Benefit, Reserved Instances, and AKS auto-scaling. This proactive optimization resulted in a 30% reduction in infrastructure expenses.

The retail industry demanded stricter compliance and governance controls than the existing GCP setup could fully support.

  • Solution: Our team implemented Azure Policy and Security Center to enforce governance, create automated compliance alerts, and enable granular RBAC through Azure AD. This ensured that all regulatory requirements were met consistently across environments.

Customers across global markets were experiencing latency spikes during high-traffic events like seasonal sales.

  • Solution: We deployed a multi-region architecture with Azure Front Door and WAF, routing traffic intelligently to the nearest region. This cut response times by 20% and ensured uninterrupted availability even during peak demand.

The client’s retail management systems and productivity tools (Dynamics 365, Office 365) were not tightly integrated with their GCP environment, leading to inefficiencies.

  • Solution: We migrated workloads to Azure and integrated them seamlessly with Microsoft applications. This unified ecosystem improved productivity, simplified identity management, and streamlined retail operations.
