Cloud Migration and Infrastructure Modernization for a Fintech Organization

The client operates a sophisticated infrastructure consisting of physical and virtual servers handling web services, APIs, and databases. Despite stability, the infrastructure incurs high operational costs, faces limited scalability, and involves manual management prone to errors and security vulnerabilities. These limitations hinder rapid growth, agility, and security posture, affecting the company's ability to respond to market demands efficiently.

A mid-sized fintech company operating in a technologically advanced environment with both physical and virtual servers, seeking scalable and cost-effective operational capabilities.
