What changes when it is financial services
Dependencies are always more numerous than the inventory suggests. The scheduled job nobody documented is what turns a clean cutover into a bad weekend.
In financial services, every automated decision must be explainable and reproducible months after the fact. That single fact reshapes how cloud migration has to be built here, the guardrails, the approval points and the evidence trail are design inputs rather than things bolted on before go-live.
The workload we are most often asked to take on first is reconciliation, usually integrated against loan origination. We build the smallest thing that proves the case, put it in front of real users, and expand only what earns its keep.
Built by engineers who ship production systems, not by a practice that subcontracts the build. Six weeks to something running in production, not six quarters to a strategy document.
The sector constraints we design around
- Defining constraint
- every automated decision must be explainable and reproducible months after the fact
- Regulations in scope
- RBI guidelines · SEBI regulations · DPDP Act 2023 · PMLA and AML rules · IRDAI where insurance applies
- Systems of record
- core banking · trading and OMS · loan origination · SAP and Oracle financials · regulatory reporting platforms
- Where we usually start
- credit memo drafting
Cloud Migration workloads in financial services
- credit memo drafting
- KYC and onboarding checks
- regulatory report assembly
- reconciliation
- client communication review
What is included
- Inventory of every workload, dependency and integration before planning
- Cost model comparing current spend against realistic cloud spend
- Migration approach per workload rather than one strategy for all
- Staged cutover with rollback at each step
- Security posture, network design and access control
- Post-migration cost optimisation, because the first bill is never the last word
Questions from this sector
Can we use AI in credit decisions?
With explainability, documented model governance and human review on adverse outcomes, yes. RBI expects you to be able to explain any decision that affects a customer.
How do you handle data residency?
Deployment inside Indian regions or on your own infrastructure, which is the usual requirement for regulated financial data.
Will cloud reduce our costs?
Sometimes, and not automatically. Variable and spiky workloads usually save; steady heavy compute often does not. The cost model in week one gives you the real answer for your estate.
Can we migrate without downtime?
For most workloads, yes, with staged cutover and parallel running. Some database migrations need a short planned window, which we rehearse rather than improvise.
Should we go multi-cloud?
Rarely, unless you have a specific reason. Multi-cloud doubles operational complexity and most organisations do not recover that cost in resilience or leverage.
