From Legacy to Cloud at Scale

A Telco’s 18-Month Journey from Monolith to Microservices

In one case study, a regional telco split a billing monolith into domain microservices and containerized workloads. Release cadence improved from quarterly to biweekly, mean time to recovery dropped by half, and teams reported fewer weekend fire drills. Leadership credits early domain mapping and ruthless backlog pruning.

Application Rationalization That Actually Stuck

Another enterprise cataloged 1,200 applications, retired 27%, and consolidated overlapping tools before migrating. By tackling process duplication first, cloud bills landed 19% lower than forecast. Their key move: a decision rubric combining business criticality, compliance requirements, and modernization complexity to prioritize each application’s disposition.

Change Management: Turning Skeptics into Champions

In a banking case study, a cross‑functional champions network shaped backlog priorities and hosted live demos of rough prototypes. By surfacing pain points early, teams avoided over‑engineering. Adoption surged because frontline staff saw their feedback reflected quickly, not months later after decisions were locked.

Change Management: Turning Skeptics into Champions

Rather than generic training, one enterprise filmed five‑minute job‑specific scenarios: how a branch manager approves exceptions, how a planner adjusts forecasts. Completion rates rose and call‑backs fell. The moral: teach the exact clicks and decisions people make, in the context they already understand.

Zero Trust in a Regulated Pharma Environment

A pharmaceutical firm embedded zero‑trust patterns—strong identity, least privilege, and continuous verification—while meeting GxP controls. The case study details automated policy checks in pipelines and immutable audit logs. Result: faster approvals and fewer late surprises, because compliance lived inside delivery, not outside it.

Identity as the New Perimeter

An energy enterprise unified identity across cloud and legacy, enabling conditional access and step‑up authentication for sensitive workflows. Developers gained self‑service while risk teams saw clearer telemetry. The key lesson: centralize policy, decentralize execution, and test failure modes before attackers do it for you.

Measuring ROI and Proving Value Realization

One enterprise defined a scorecard mapping initiatives to revenue lift, cost avoidance, risk reduction, and customer satisfaction. By agreeing on baselines upfront, debates shrank and decisions accelerated. The case study shows quarterly storytelling tied to specific metrics, not abstract maturity stages.

Measuring ROI and Proving Value Realization

A transformation office replaced vanity counts—deploys, story points—with outcome metrics like cycle time, NPS, and failed‑change rate. Teams still tracked delivery health, but executives saw meaningful progress. Linking dashboards to OKRs kept focus on value realized, not effort spent.
