Migrating cloud infrastructure at enterprise scale isn’t just about moving data, it’s about preserving continuity across critical systems. When a regulatory technology provider needed to transition an entire Azure environment, including a massive database and essential services, the stakes were high. Success depended on a tailored migration strategy, real-time collaboration, and zero room for error.
The Challenge
A major regulatory company needed to migrate a massive cloud-based database and its associated services to a new Azure tenant. The migration posed several technical hurdles due to the sheer volume of data and platform limitations that made standard export methods inefficient or unreliable.
This was a high-stakes move, where any misstep could impact hundreds of dependent business processes across companies using the platform.
The Process
Oceans led the initiative by devising a custom migration method and selecting the right combination of tools to enable a secure and successful tenant-to-tenant migration in Azure. Key elements included:
- Custom workflows and configurations tailored to cloud restrictions.
- Close collaboration with the client’s internal team to ensure real-time testing and validation.
- Clear documentation and knowledge transfer to ensure post-migration maintainability.
The Team
The Oceans engineers demonstrated not only strong technical execution but also consistent daily interaction with the client, allowing for fast troubleshooting, transparent communication, and trust-building throughout the migration process. This level of collaboration was essential to maintaining quality during a high-impact infrastructure transition.
The Solution
The result was a successful migration of all services and infrastructure to the new Azure environment, setting the stage for more scalable and efficient processes across the client’s software a tool leveraged by countless businesses in regulatory workflows.
Beyond the technical win, this engagement highlighted Oceans strength in navigating complexity and maintaining close client partnerships, even under pressure.
