When one of the largest banks in the United States decided to migrate 2,000 workloads from on-premises data centers to AWS, they knew the timeline was aggressive: 90 days, with zero tolerance for downtime or compliance gaps.
The Challenge
The bank's existing infrastructure included a mix of legacy applications, custom-built platforms, and third-party integrations — many with undocumented dependencies and complex compliance requirements.
The Approach
BSC Analytics deployed the Ariad platform to discover, orchestrate, automate, and validate the entire migration. Every workload was assessed, every dependency was mapped, and every migration step was validated before, during, and after execution.
The Results
The migration was completed in 78 days — 12 days ahead of schedule. Zero compliance violations. Zero unplanned downtime. And the bank now has a validated, auditable record of every step in the migration process.
