Situation

Our client, a financial services company located in Europe, was struggling with data security and regulatory compliance challenges. They were finding it difficult to keep up with demanding regulations when it comes to data resiliency and integrity, and to ensure that their data was secure from internal and external threats. The company was also experiencing issues with scalability, as their data storage needs were growing rapidly.

Challenge

The financial service company was facing challenges with their data storage infrastructure, which was not optimized to handle their growing data volume and was causing performance issues. Their data storage solution at that time was a traditional storage system located on premises that required a certain amount of resources, especially time and money. As the volume of data grew, the system struggled to keep up with the demand, resulting in slower performance and longer response times for critical applications.

They were also struggling with data governance and regulatory compliance because the system also lacked the necessary data governance tools to manage compliance requirements, such as data integrity verifications and data protection policies. Their IT operations were becoming increasingly complex and time-consuming to manage manually.
