Legacy System Transformation with Expert Guidance
A leading global financial services company sought to transition from a legacy money-transfer platform to a more scalable, modern solution. See how TDK Technologies provided critical expertise essential to success in the complex transformation.
The Problem
The client's legacy platform was becoming increasingly difficult and expensive to maintain. Moving to a new platform was critical for long-term sustainability. However, the new platform was not yet fully feature-complete and could not fully replace the legacy system until all required functionalities were in place.
Challenges included maintaining continuity for existing users, integrating multiple platforms, and responding to unpredictable regulatory changes. The challenges were heightened by the client’s lean staffing model, where team members were frequently pulled into urgent regulatory compliance efforts, further slowing the transition.
The Solution
TDK Technologies experts brought extensive experience in modernizing monolithic legacy systems to assist the client in their platform migration efforts. TDK’s experts worked closely with the client's teams to manage the complex integration between the old and new systems. The approach involved working on the new system in stages, while the legacy system continued to function, ensuring minimal disruption to business operations. The new system required migrating databases to the cloud, optimizing storage for historical data while maintaining efficient access to recent transactions. The new system also utilized big data solutions to proactively address anticipated increases in transaction volume.
In addition to the core migration, TDK’s experts provided invaluable support in addressing regulatory and security challenges. Leveraging their deep expertise, TDK quickly responded to urgent compliance issues and security vulnerabilities, allowing the client to remain agile in a rapidly evolving environment.
