80% of IT budgets go to keeping the lights on

Australian financial services firms spend the vast majority of their technology budgets maintaining legacy systems — not building new capability. Meanwhile, CPS 230 (effective July 2025) demands operational resilience that ageing infrastructure cannot deliver.

Every year of delay increases migration risk, compliance exposure, and the cost of change. The question is not whether to modernise, but how to do it safely.

What we do

Six capabilities that modernise your infrastructure safely and at pace.

01

Cloud Migration

Lift-and-shift or re-architect to AWS or Azure. Phased migration with zero-downtime cutover strategies.

AWSAzureZero-downtime cutover
02

Platform Re-architecture

Decompose monoliths into microservices. Replace tightly coupled systems with event-driven, API-first architectures.

MicroservicesEvent-drivenAPI-first
03

Data Warehouse Modernisation

Migrate from on-prem data warehouses to cloud-native platforms (Snowflake, BigQuery, Databricks).

04

Mainframe Decommissioning

Safely retire mainframe workloads with parallel running, data validation, and staged cutover.

05

API-First Architecture

Build integration layers that connect legacy systems to modern front-ends, partners, and third-party services.

Managed Operations

Post-migration support: monitoring, patching, performance optimisation, and incident response.

APRA CPS 230

CPS 230 and operational resilience

APRA CPS 230 requires firms to identify and maintain critical operations through severe disruptions. Legacy systems are the single biggest risk to operational resilience — they are brittle, poorly documented, and dependent on a shrinking pool of specialists. Modernisation is not just a technology project. It is a compliance requirement.

CPS 230 operational resilience alignment

Architecture designed to maintain critical operations through severe disruptions, mapped to APRA requirements.

Business continuity during migration

Parallel running ensures zero disruption. Source systems remain live until target is validated and signed off.

Disaster recovery built in

Multi-AZ deployment, automated failover, and tested DR procedures designed into the target-state architecture.

Vendor concentration risk management

Multi-cloud strategies and portable infrastructure-as-code to reduce single-vendor dependency.

Frequently asked
questions

01 How long does a typical cloud migration take?

6–18 months depending on scope. A single application migration can complete in 8–12 weeks. Full infrastructure modernisation with multiple workloads and data migration takes 12–18 months.

02 How do you minimise risk during migration?

Parallel running, staged cutover, automated data validation, and rollback plans at every phase. We never do big-bang migrations. Each workload is migrated independently with its own success criteria.

03 Do you support both AWS and Azure?

Yes. We hold partnerships with both AWS and Microsoft Azure. Platform selection is driven by your existing investments, regulatory requirements, and workload characteristics.

04 What happens to our data during migration?

Data is migrated using encrypted channels with automated validation at every stage. We run parallel comparisons between source and target systems before cutover. No data is deleted from source systems until migration is verified and signed off.

05 Can we modernise in stages or does it have to be all at once?

Absolutely. In fact, we recommend it. We prioritise workloads by business value, risk, and dependency. You can modernise the highest-impact systems first and tackle the rest over time.

06 How do you handle vendor lock-in?

We design for portability. We use infrastructure-as-code (Terraform, CloudFormation), containerisation (Docker, Kubernetes), and API-first patterns that reduce platform dependency. You own all the code and configuration.
