The impact of Cloud Migration Assurance on legacy
banking applications
Legacy banking systems are decades behind as
digital advancements continue to disrupt the
sector. Cloud computing has long since crossed
the line from experimental to mainstream. The
next question is how quickly companies should
adopt and convert to cloud computing. The
developments in adjacent technology markets
include Digitalization, where 28 of new
enterprise IT spend, and gt60 of annual IT spend,
will be made on cloud-based offerings. Also, it
is estimated that 40 of existing application
software will be moved to the hybrid cloud by
2022. Cloud Adoption Challenges for Legacy
Banking Applications While the benefits of cloud
migration are increasingly becoming evident in
one way or another, migration to a cloud-based
infrastructure and operational model comes with
its own set of challenges that need to be
addressed effectively to ensure the success of
the migration. System availability While a
transition from an on-premise to a cloud-based
model is done, it is essential to ensure there is
no impact on the customer experience regarding
availability and performance, especially in the
case of business-critical applications like Core
Banking applications.

• Data Consistency Data is the most sensitive
  element of a BFSI ecosystem, and a major
  transformational program such as cloud migration
  can get quite challenging in this aspect. The
  various data sets such as product data, account
  data, and historical transactional data need to
  be carefully backed up and migrated onto the new
  cloud infrastructure. This whole process should
  not open any vulnerabilities in terms of access
  and obfuscation
• Test imperatives and the overall cloud migration
  assurance approach
• There is a compelling need for a testing service
  provider to validate activities across the entire
  value chain of the cloud migration journey.
  Stringent and diligent assurance is critical
  across the whole value chain of the cloud
  migration journey to ensure success. The
  validations have to be done across the
  technological layers of,
• Infrastructure
• Modelling the infrastructure basis, the
  recommended design architecture and environment
  blueprint
• Validating the necessary integrations for the
  correct configuration settings
• Data
• Validating all database components are migrated
• Testing the data flow as per the requirements
• Testing of data security at rest, in use and
  during transit
