Customer Overview

Our client is a prominent investment management firm that provides comprehensive asset management solutions to institutional and retail investors. With a growing portfolio and increasing client demands, the firm sought to enhance its operational efficiency and scalability by migrating its legacy systems to a more robust cloud-based infrastructure.

Challenges

The client faced multiple challenges with their existing on-premises infrastructure:

  • Scalability Issues

The firm’s legacy systems struggled to handle fluctuating workloads, leading to performance bottlenecks during peak trading hours.

  • High Operational Costs

Maintaining on-premises servers resulted in high maintenance costs and a need for frequent hardware upgrades.

  • Limited Disaster Recovery

The existing infrastructure lacked a comprehensive disaster recovery plan, putting critical data and operations at risk.

  • Regulatory Compliance

The investment management industry is heavily regulated, necessitating robust data security and compliance measures that were difficult to implement in the legacy environment.

Solution

Yesoft Consulting was engaged to facilitate the migration of the client’s investment management solution to Amazon Web Services (AWS)

Our approach included the following key phases:

Assessment and Planning

Our team conducted a thorough assessment of the existing infrastructure, applications, and workflows. We collaborated with the client to understand their specific needs and set clear objectives for the migration. A detailed migration strategy was developed, including timelines, resource allocation, and risk management plans.

Architecture Design

We designed a cloud-native architecture tailored to the client’s needs, leveraging AWS services such as:

  • Amazon EC2 for scalable computing capacity
  • Amazon RDS for managed database services
  • Amazon S3 for secure and durable storage
  • AWS Lambda for serverless computing to handle event-driven processes

Migration Execution

Yesoft Consulting implemented a phased migration approach to minimize downtime and disruption. Key steps included:

  • Data Migration

We utilized AWS Database Migration Service (DMS) to transfer data securely and efficiently with minimal downtime, ensuring data integrity and consistency.

  • Application Migration

Applications were migrated to the AWS environment using containerization and microservices architecture (EKS), allowing for easier management and scaling.

  • Testing

Rigorous testing was conducted post-migration to ensure that all systems functioned as expected and met performance benchmarks.

Post-Migration Support

After a successful migration, Yesoft Consulting provided comprehensive support, including:

  • Compliance and Security

We assisted in configuring AWS security features to align with industry regulations, ensuring data protection and compliance.

  • Training

We conducted training sessions for the client’s IT staff to ensure they were equipped to manage and optimize the new AWS environment.

  • Observability

Implemented AWS CloudWatch with third-party services for continuous monitoring of system performance and resource utilization, enabling proactive management.

The AWS migration led to significant improvements for the client:
