Financial institutions face unique challenges when migrating to the cloud, from strict regulatory requirements to zero‑tolerance for downtime. Searches such as ‘migration to the cloud a banking sector perspective’ reflect the industry’s need for tailored guidance.
Banks should begin with a comprehensive assessment of data flows and application dependencies. Mapping workflows reveals which systems are mission‑critical and informs decisions about rehosting, replatforming or refactoring. Assign clear roles to compliance officers, security teams, IT and business units to ensure accountability. When estimating costs, consider not only cloud infrastructure but also encryption, key management and regulatory audits.
To mitigate risk, select migration strategies that balance speed with security. Automation reduces human error and keeps data synchronised during cutover. After migration, continuous monitoring and testing are essential to meet performance and compliance SLAs.
Banks must also consider system modernisation and the need for continuous automation. A migration factory approach helps maintain repeatability and compliance across multiple applications. Partnering with a migration expert reduces risk and ensures compliance with industry regulations.
A strong testing strategy validates data integrity and application behaviour.
