$8MN Yearly Cost Savings Through a Strategic Migration of Virtual Infrastructure

Engagement Overview

A financial giant with an extensive network of almost 8000 branches and close to 180,000 employees was at a technological crossroads as their once-lauded virtual infrastructure had become cost-prohibitive, impeding agile operations and remote access. Having previously engaged with Anunta, the customer was fully aware of our skills and capabilities and approached us once again for the ideal solution.

The result was a stellar 35-day migration of 16,000 + users and 15 + legacy applications with no downtime and no disruptions.

Business Use Cases Addressed

• Cost-Efficiency: The existing virtual infrastructure was cost-prohibitive and was turning out to be financially unviable in the long run.
• Seamless and Secure Access: Ensuring data integrity was not just a regulatory need but essential to maintain customer trust.
• Legacy Application Compatibility: The bank’s legacy applications had complex dependencies and configurations customized for their existing environment.
• Enhanced Security through Protection from Keylogging: Protection from keylogging, a critical component of the migration, aimed to safeguard sensitive financial and customer information from potential threats.
