The Challenge

The bank embarked on an ambitious three-year digital transformation journey but was slowed down by several challenges many enterprises face. The organization needed to upgrade and refresh approximately 35% of its existing hardware, and its capital expenditures had grown out of control. With ever-changing security and compliance protocols, infrastructure maintenance was another challenge they faced.

The Solution

A secure and reliable cloud platform was pivotal in achieving the bank's desired business outcomes. Microsoft Azure emerged as the preferred choice, enabling the reduction of data center costs and the modernization of legacy infrastructure. Virtusa, recognized as a certified solution partner in four areas, with five advanced Specializations and recipient of the FY23 Microsoft US Partner of the Year Award for App Modernization, strategically collaborated to deploy an enterprise-grade cloud foundation framework on the Microsoft Azure platform.
