🏦 BFSI / Fintech

Legacy Core Banking App Migrated to OpenShift in 10 Weeks

Challenge: A mid-size NBFC was running a 12-year-old monolithic core banking application on bare-metal VMs. Every release took 3 weeks and 48-hour downtime windows. Compliance audits flagged 27 security gaps.

72% faster deployments — release cycles dropped from 3 weeks to 4 days via automated GitOps pipelines
🔒
All 27 security gaps resolved with RBAC hardening, network policies, and automated compliance scanning
Zero-downtime cutover achieved via blue-green deployment strategy on OpenShift 4.14
🏛️ Government / PSU

State Government PSU Achieves CERT-In Compliance on Air-Gapped OpenShift

Challenge: A state government PSU needed to modernize 40+ legacy applications onto a secure, air-gapped container platform while meeting CERT-In and GIGW compliance mandates — with a fixed budget and 6-month timeline.

CERT-In compliance achieved in 5.5 months — 2 weeks ahead of the government deadline

🏥 Healthcare

Hospital Chain Cuts Patient Data Query Time by 80% on OpenShift

Challenge: A 12-hospital chain's EMR and lab systems ran across 6 separate VMs per hospital — creating data silos, slow query times, and repeated HIPAA audit findings. Three prior vendors had failed to deliver a workable solution.
