Hampered by legacy on-premises systems, our client—a leading global investment banking, securities and investment management firm—recognized the need for transformation. So, they turned to the Publicis Sapient team—and our proven SPEED philosophy and deep engineering capabilities—to modernize their mission-critical workloads from on-premises to a cloud-native environment on AWS.
Built on various outdated technologies, our client’s on-premises environment and legacy workloads posed significant challenges. Slow deployment processes hindered their agility and time-to-market, while limited deployment options and potential downtime due to component failure posed substantial risks. Additionally, the growing costs associated with maintaining and licensing these legacy systems were a mounting concern.

This thorough evaluation laid the foundation for a well-defined business case and detailed migration roadmap.
The solution involved migrating and modernizing AM web properties for 48 countries with 12 "Individual Investor" sites, 24 "Financial Intermediaries" sites, and 44 "Institutional Sites," supporting eight different languages.

Our client can now focus on delivering superior digital experiences to their customers and staying ahead of the competition in the rapidly evolving financial services industry.
