Challenges
Access Bank, one of the leading financial institutions in Nigeria, faced the pressing challenge of enhancing its digital capabilities while maintaining security and compliance with industry regulations. The bank’s legacy systems were limiting its ability to innovate and respond to market demands swiftly.
Solution
Cloudware Africa partnered with Access Bank to migrate their critical workloads to Microsoft Azure. This strategic move involved deploying Azure’s advanced services, including Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) and Azure DevOps, to modernize the bank’s application development and deployment processes. The implementation of these cloud solutions not only ensured scalability and agility but also provided robust security measures that aligned with the bank’s compliance requirements.
Why The Solutions Used
Cloudware Africa chose to address Access Bank’s workload migration with Azure Kubernetes Services. This specifically tackled any data loss issues that would have occurred as a result of the migration across servers. Azure DevOps was deployed specifically to help modernise the bank’s application development and deployment.
Impact
The transition to Microsoft Azure has significantly improved Access Bank’s operational efficiency, leading to a 30% reduction in time-to-market for new services and products. Additionally, the enhanced security protocols have fortified the bank’s defenses against potential cyber threats, ensuring the safety of customer data and maintaining regulatory compliance.
Future Plans
Following the success of the initial phase, Access Bank plans to further leverage Microsoft Azure’s capabilities by exploring AI-driven insights and advanced analytics to enhance customer experience and drive business growth, employing Cloudware Africa’s expertise.
