Cloud Landing Zone for a Retail Bank
- Industry: Banking & Financial Services
- Service Pillar: Cloud & Infrastructure → Cloud
Executive Summary
A leading retail bank initiated a large-scale cloud adoption journey to modernize its IT infrastructure and improve agility. However, the absence of a standardized foundation for governance, security, and cost management caused inconsistent deployments and budget overruns. Mindmap Technologies implemented a robust multi-account Cloud Landing Zone (CLZ) framework to enforce compliance, enable scalability, and optimize operational costs.
Problem Overview
