Navigating the Complexities of a Cloud-Based Transition

The client aimed to achieve this transition while upholding the existing mainframe infrastructure, including its security, speed, and consistency, which proved complicated. Achieving these goals across different regions emerged as crucial factors for the project's success. One particular hurdle involved reconciling the client's requirements with the capabilities of AWS, as it became apparent their needs pushed the boundaries of what AWS could provide. They soon realized transitioning from a centralized to a decentralized architecture represented not only a monumental technological shift but introduced organizational challenges as well. The team had previously been structured to support vertically-scaled systems, but the move to cloud necessitated a reevaluation of the organization's business processes. They realized these various challenges required the expertise of a third-party consultant to navigate successfully. The client brought in CG Infinity.

CG Infinity partnered with the client to restructure their organization into autonomous and efficient small teams tasked with constructing horizontally scaled systems based on microservices or small engines. The collaboration between the client, AWS, and CG Infinity resulted in a groundbreaking three-way partnership that pushed the boundaries of what was deemed possible, ultimately delivering a transformative solution for the client. The team came up with a foundational approach where they constructed the platform on a unified, modular, and cloud-native architecture. By harnessing the best capabilities of the cloud, this architecture laid a strong groundwork for rapid evolution and future enhancements while allowing customers to seamlessly interact with a diverse range of standard protocols and interfaces. The CG Infinity team guided the client beyond software development, equipping them with the necessary resources, processes, and tools required to sustain the platform over time. CG Infinity ensured the client not only received a cutting-edge solution but also gained a support system to accompany its ongoing growth and adaptation.
