Banking modernization demo

Move banking workloads off legacy infrastructure without disrupting customers.

See how your bank can migrate VMware, mainframe, and .NET workloads to AWS, modernize third-party and on-premises systems to cloud-native services, and reshape core banking workflows so product teams can ship changes in days, not quarters.

What you hear from the team

"Our core systems are slow, expensive, and every change takes a release window we cannot afford."

Banking capabilities

What your team can do.

Mainframe and VMware migration

Move mainframe batch, VMware estates, and .NET workloads to AWS with assessment, refactoring, and replatforming patterns that protect business continuity.

Third-party and on-prem modernization

Replace aging on-prem and 3P applications with AWS-native services, container platforms, and managed databases that reduce run cost and operational toil.

Core banking modernization

Decompose monolithic core banking systems into service-oriented workflows that let product and risk teams change loan, deposit, card, and payment behavior independently.

Connected workflow re-platforming

Modernize the systems wrapped around the core: KYC, onboarding, servicing, dispute, statement, fraud, and treasury workflows that depend on customer and account data.

Assess

Inventory mainframe, VMware, .NET, and on-prem workloads. Score by migration pattern and risk.

Re-platform

Move workloads using the right pattern: rehost, replatform, refactor, repurchase, or retire.

Modernize core workflows

Carve out customer-facing workflows around the core so they can change independently.

Operate and observe

Bring monitoring, change control, and compliance evidence into your normal operating model.

Lower run cost

Reduce hardware, license, and operations cost across mainframe, VMware, and .NET footprints.

Faster product change

Cut release cycles for customer-facing workflows from quarters to weeks.

Regulatory readiness

Improve evidence, observability, and recoverability for examinations and audits.

Talent flexibility

Reduce dependence on scarce legacy skills while keeping operational control.

Use cases your team can deploy

Three workflows that move the operating numbers.

Each use case shows the customer pain, the workflow your team gets, the kind of prompt or trigger that starts it, and the artifact the team can actually use.

UC1

Mainframe and batch modernization

"We cannot recruit COBOL talent, the nightly batch is fragile, and infrastructure cost keeps rising."

Banks with mainframe COBOL, IMS, DB2, or legacy batch where talent scarcity, run cost, and regulatory risk are colliding.

What this demo shows

Assess mainframe workloads, identify candidates for refactor, replatform, and retain, and rebuild critical batch and online services as cloud-native equivalents with continuous testing and a parallel-run safety net.

Implementation scope

Discover workloads, score migration patterns, replatform high-value batch and online programs, and establish a sustained run mode on AWS with monitoring and change management your operations team can own.

Live prompt or trigger

Show me how to migrate our nightly statement and interest accrual batch jobs to AWS, prove parity with current output, and cut run time by half.

UC2

VMware and .NET workload migration

"VMware renewal pricing is hitting our budget, and our .NET applications are tied to physical hardware."

Banks running 200 to 5,000 VMs on VMware or Hyper-V with concentration risk on Windows Server and .NET Framework.

What this demo shows

Move VMware-hosted Windows and Linux workloads to AWS using lift-and-shift, replatform, or refactor patterns, and modernize .NET applications to managed compute, managed SQL, and CI/CD pipelines.

Implementation scope

Inventory VMs, classify by migration pattern, execute waves with rollback, modernize the highest-value .NET applications to container or serverless targets, and decommission the source environment.

Live prompt or trigger

Plan a wave-based migration of our top 50 customer-facing .NET applications to AWS with a clear cutover, rollback, and decommissioning plan.

UC3

Core banking and connected workflows

"Every change to onboarding, dispute, or payment routing waits for a single core release."

Banks where the core is the bottleneck for product, risk, and operations teams that need to ship faster.

What this demo shows

Carve out customer onboarding, KYC, dispute, statement, fraud, and treasury workflows as independent services that read and write to the core through a stable contract, so product teams can ship without a core release.

Implementation scope

Map the workflows touching the core, design a contract layer, build the first two carved-out services, and prove the change cadence your product teams need.

Live prompt or trigger

Carve out our dispute and chargeback workflow from the core so the operations team can change handling rules without a release window.

Fast launch path

A five-step path your team can run.

Stand up the first workflow fast: pick the entry point, connect the data, build the experience, pilot with users, and move into steady state with the observability and governance your team needs.

Start the pilot

Week 1

Assess workloads

Inventory and score the first wave of candidates.

Week 2

Design target state

Pick the right migration pattern for each workload.

Week 3-4

Migrate wave 1

Move and validate the first batch in parallel run.

Week 5-6

Modernize a workflow

Carve out one core-adjacent workflow as a managed service.

Week 7

Operate at steady state

Hand off to your operations team with runbooks and observability.

Who this is for

Retail, commercial, and digital banks running mainframe, VMware, .NET, or on-premises workloads where regulatory and customer pressure is forcing faster change.

Outcome you can measure

Every demo ends with an artifact you can put in front of your team and a metric you can track from week one.
