Cloud data migration and integration unify legacy systems for a financial services firm

A financial services firm operated multiple legacy on-premises data marts and warehouses with inconsistent definitions and no single view of the customer or risk. Vimix led the cloud data migration and integration, consolidating sources into a governed, cloud-native data platform that supported regulatory reporting, risk analytics, and customer 360 use cases.

Project Overview

The Challenge

Data was fragmented across legacy systems; migration had to be non-disruptive and compliant with strict regulatory and security requirements. The firm needed a clear migration strategy, robust integration patterns, and a target architecture that would support both legacy retirement and new analytics workloads.

Our Solution

Vimix's cloud data migration and integration engagement delivered a unified, governed, cloud-native data platform that met regulatory requirements and enabled the firm to retire legacy marts while gaining agility and a single view of customer and risk.

Our Approach

1

Migration Strategy and Target Architecture

We defined a phased migration strategy and target cloud data architecture (lake + warehouse + semantic layer), ensuring alignment with security, compliance, and performance requirements. Legacy systems were mapped to the target with clear ownership and cutover plans.

2

Data Integration and Quality

We built integration pipelines to ingest, cleanse, and conform data from legacy sources into the cloud platform. Data quality rules and lineage were implemented so that reporting and analytics could rely on a single, governed source of truth.

3

Cutover, Validation, and Decommissioning

We executed cutover in phases with rigorous validation and rollback options. After stabilization, we supported the decommissioning of legacy data marts and documented the new operating model for the client's data team.
