Cloud Infrastructure Migration

The Challenge

FinanceCorp was running ageing on-premise servers with $180K annual maintenance costs, unpredictable downtime, and a 2-day deployment cycle that blocked the product team’s velocity.

What We Built

We designed a phased migration to Azure with a parallel-run approach — new infrastructure ran alongside old for 6 weeks, giving us confidence before full cutover. We rebuilt the CI/CD pipeline end-to-end.

Results

• 35% reduction in infrastructure costs — saving $63K annually
• 99.99% uptime vs 97.8% on-premise
• Deployment time: 2 days → 20 minutes — 144x faster releases
• Zero downtime during migration
• Paid back in 14 months — full ROI achieved ahead of projection
