The key objective of the client was to migrate their on-Prem computing resources to the Microsoft Azure cloud.
The client is a Retirement, Investment, and Insurance Provider based in the United States. The company is serving the financial needs of approximately 15 million individual and institutional customers in the United States. It has USD 540 billion of assets under management and administration and ranks among the top five retirement plan providers based on a number of plans, participants, and assets. The Client offers customers a comprehensive portfolio of asset accumulation, asset protection, and asset distribution products and services.
The client was moving out of their on-premise location and thus wished to reduce risks by having a business continuity solution in place. For the same, they needed to migrate their on-Prem computing resources, which included 700+ TB of databases, 250+ applications, and services present at the location to Microsoft Azure cloud. To add on, validation of migration of 800+ enterprise systems with disaster recovery within a span of 15 months had to be completed.
Coforge followed a streamlined approach and an in-house converged cloud adaptation framework for migration. It started with having a clear picture of why the customer wanted to migrate, then after the assessment of the business situation, Coforge started with defining the methods and tools, which were required for migration. Following this, migration started. Utilizing the same framework, the client was facilitated with an assessment and migration plan.
Coforge made sure that the process is completed to a degree that all in-scope and servers were easily decommissioned with cost-efficiency. Leveraging the experience of working with giant clients, proven capabilities, and in-depth industry expertise, Coforge successfully completed the migration task within 12 months of starting. The disaster recovery setup was also completed & validated way before the given deadline of 15 months.
