App Modernization & Cloud Adoption
Investment One modernizes legacy applications to drive innovation and transitions to the cloud
Recognizing the pressing need to modernize its legacy infrastructure, Investment One embarked on a transformative journey with Wragby’s help, to migrate its applications to the Azure cloud. By seamlessly migrating its legacy applications to the Cloud, Investment One can scale and adapt to changing market conditions while expanding its customer base.
Investment One swiftly evolved into a diversified organization, spanning the nation with its financial and investment offerings. Investment One stands tall, fueled by a commitment to excellence. Investment One excels in Investment Management, Trust Services, and Financial Advisory Services, with their subsidiaries also provides Securities Brokerage to individuals, corporate institutions, and government agencies.
But as the years rolled by, Investment One faced a pivotal crossroad. Their rapid ascent to leadership in Nigeria’s Financial Services Industry with increasing revenues and a burgeoning customer base—demanded more. Exceptional investment services and personalized experiences were non-negotiable. Yet, their existing technology infrastructure struggled to keep pace. Agility and innovation remained elusive, hindering their growth trajectory.
Security and reliability loomed large, the legacy environment stifled scalability, leaving performance degraded and resource utilization inefficient. Investment One yearned for a transformation that wouldn’t disrupt their business. And so, they turned to us.
The Solution
In a partnership built on trust and forward-thinking, Wragby and Investment One set out to implement a secure, flexible, and scalable solution. This is aimed to help Investment One grow and adapt to shifting market conditions while expanding its customer base. It wasn’t just about technology; it was about securing the future of Investment One. The approach focused on delivering excellence, minimizing disruptions, and fostering trust.
After an enlightening Azure immersion workshop where the transformative potential of Azure Services was demonstrated, Wragby initiated the migration process using the Cloud Adoption Framework for Azure (CAF) and the Microsoft Azure Well-Architected Framework (WAF). We guided Investment One through the extensive capabilities and features of Azure, akin to ancient sages imparting wisdom. We assessed the current state of applications, their interdependencies, and preparedness for cloud migration. We conducted business justification and rationalization sessions to evaluate cost-effectiveness and overall value. Business and technical teams met to define scope, timelines, and resources. Potential risks were identified, and mitigation strategies were developed. Focusing on Agility, Performance, and Innovation, we adopted a cloud-native approach utilizing Microsoft technologies such as App Services, Azure Kubernetes Service, and Azure DevOps. This allowed us to rapidly and frequently deploy new features and updates to the new application.
The Outcome
As a result of this migration, Investment One improved performance and user experience by over 70%. By optimizing the application code, architecture, and infrastructure leveraging Azure app service, we were able to enhance the speed, responsiveness, and usability. Secondly, there was reduction in operational costs and complexity. Thirdly, by migrating their applications to the cloud, the need and cost of maintaining and upgrading on-premises servers, hardware, and software licenses reduced significantly. Investment One also experienced increased agility and innovation, enhanced security and compliance.
