Banking modernization demo

Plan banking modernization around continuity and change.

Explore how your bank can assess VMware, mainframe, and .NET workloads for AWS, then modernize selected systems and core-adjacent workflows in controlled waves.

Schedule this demo See the use cases

The operating problem

Our core systems are slow, expensive, and every change takes a release window we cannot afford.

Banking capabilities

What the demo explores.

Mainframe and VMware migration

Assess mainframe batch, VMware estates, and .NET workloads for AWS, with refactoring, replatforming, parallel validation, and rollback planning.

Third-party and on-prem modernization

Evaluate aging on-premises and third-party applications for AWS services, containers, and managed databases based on cost, risk, and operating needs.

Core banking modernization

Identify selected loan, deposit, card, and payment workflows that can change independently while the core continues to run.

Connected workflow re-platforming

Modernize the systems wrapped around the core: KYC, onboarding, servicing, dispute, statement, fraud, and treasury workflows that depend on customer and account data.

Assess

Inventory mainframe, VMware, .NET, and on-prem workloads. Score by migration pattern and risk.

Re-platform

Move workloads using the right pattern: rehost, replatform, refactor, repurchase, or retire.

Modernize core workflows

Carve out customer-facing workflows around the core so they can change independently.

Operate and observe

Define monitoring, change control, recovery testing, and operating records with the teams that will run the workload.

Run-rate visibility

Compare infrastructure, license, support, and operations cost for each migration option.

Change cadence

Measure how independently a selected workflow can be tested and released.

Operational records

Keep migration validation, changes, recovery tests, and approvals available for review.

Skills plan

Identify where managed services and modern tooling can ease pressure on legacy specialists.

Use cases to evaluate

Three workflows to put in front of your team.

Each use case starts with an operating problem, shows a candidate workflow, and identifies the outputs and measures your team can review in a pilot.

UC1

Mainframe and batch modernization

"We cannot recruit COBOL talent, the nightly batch is fragile, and infrastructure cost keeps rising."

Banks with mainframe COBOL, IMS, DB2, or legacy batch where talent scarcity, run cost, and regulatory risk are colliding.

What this demo shows

The demo assesses mainframe workloads, separates refactor, replatform, and retain candidates, and shows how a selected batch service can be compared with current output during a parallel run.

What a pilot includes

Discover workloads, score migration patterns, select a pilot service, and define monitoring, validation, rollback, and handoff with your operations team.

Example prompt or trigger

Show me how to assess our nightly statement and interest accrual jobs for AWS, compare output with the current batch, and measure runtime.

UC2

VMware and .NET workload migration

"VMware renewal pricing is hitting our budget, and our .NET applications are tied to physical hardware."

Banks with a material VMware or Hyper-V footprint and concentration risk around Windows Server or .NET Framework.

What this demo shows

The demo compares rehost, replatform, and refactor options for VMware-hosted Windows and Linux workloads and maps selected .NET applications to candidate AWS services.

What a pilot includes

Inventory VMs, classify migration patterns, plan waves and rollback, and evaluate selected .NET applications for container, serverless, or managed-service targets.

Example prompt or trigger

Plan a wave-based migration of our top 50 customer-facing .NET applications to AWS with a clear cutover, rollback, and decommissioning plan.

UC3

Core banking and connected workflows

"Every change to onboarding, dispute, or payment routing waits for a single core release."

Banks where the core is the bottleneck for product, risk, and operations teams that need to ship faster.

What this demo shows

The demo maps a selected onboarding, KYC, dispute, statement, fraud, or treasury workflow and shows how a service contract can separate its change cycle from the core.

What a pilot includes

Map the workflows touching the core, design a contract layer, choose a pilot service, and compare its change process with the current release cycle.

Example prompt or trigger

Carve out our dispute and chargeback workflow from the core so the operations team can change handling rules without a release window.

Example outputs

Pilot path

A five-step path to a useful pilot.

Start with one workflow, agree on the baseline, connect the approved data, test with users, and let the results guide the operating plan.

Plan a pilot

Assess

Assess workloads

Inventory and score the first group of candidates.

Design

Design the target state

Choose a migration pattern for each selected workload.

Pilot

Test one wave

Move a controlled batch and compare it with the current environment.

Modernize

Separate a workflow

Pilot one core-adjacent workflow behind a service contract.

Prepare

Plan steady state

Complete runbooks, monitoring, support, and handoff with operations.

Who this is for

Retail, commercial, and digital banks running mainframe, VMware, .NET, or on-premises workloads where regulatory and customer pressure is forcing faster change.

What to measure

Agree on a baseline before the pilot, then compare the output, review effort, exceptions, quality, and operating cost with your current process.
