FinTech Haven Migration Process

Migration & Onboarding

A structured approach to seamlessly transition your fintech infrastructure with minimal risk and disruption.

Our Migration Process

1. Discovery & Assessment

Every successful migration begins with a comprehensive understanding of your current environment and requirements. During this phase, our specialists:

  • Conduct detailed infrastructure assessment and documentation
  • Identify critical systems, dependencies, and performance requirements
  • Review regulatory compliance needs specific to your financial services
  • Map current security controls and identify enhancement opportunities
  • Establish performance baselines for pre/post migration comparison

This thorough assessment provides the foundation for a customized migration plan that addresses your specific technical and regulatory requirements. According to a recent study by the European Financial Management Association, inadequate assessment is the leading cause of problematic cloud migrations in financial services.

Discovery and Assessment Process

2. Architecture Design & Planning

Based on the discovery findings, our architects design a tailored environment optimized for your specific workloads:

  • Custom infrastructure configuration based on workload characteristics
  • Security architecture with defense-in-depth approach
  • Network design with latency optimization for critical systems
  • Compliance controls integration to meet regulatory requirements
  • Detailed migration sequence plan with risk mitigation strategies

Our architects bring extensive experience from both financial services and cloud infrastructure, ensuring designs that balance performance, security, and compliance. The architecture design phase typically takes 2-3 weeks, depending on the complexity of your environment.

During this phase, we'll establish a dedicated migration team consisting of both FinTech Haven specialists and your key technical stakeholders to ensure alignment throughout the process.

3. Migration Execution

With thorough planning complete, we execute the migration following a phased approach that minimizes risk:

  • Implementation of base infrastructure and security controls
  • Data migration with integrity verification
  • Application migration with comprehensive testing at each stage
  • Performance optimization and tuning
  • Parallel operations of critical systems during transition

Our migration specialists maintain continuous communication throughout execution, with daily status updates and immediate notification of any issues requiring attention. For trading platforms and payment systems, we implement specialized cutover procedures that ensure zero transaction loss during migration.

"FinTech Haven's methodical migration approach allowed us to transition our trading platform with zero downtime and no impact on our clients," notes Janis Kalnins, CTO of Baltic Exchange Systems.

4. Validation & Optimization

Following migration, we conduct comprehensive validation and optimization:

  • Functional testing across all migrated systems
  • Performance benchmarking against established baselines
  • Security validation and penetration testing
  • Compliance verification and documentation
  • Fine-tuning based on initial production operations

This phase ensures that all systems meet or exceed pre-migration performance levels and comply with all regulatory requirements. Our optimization specialists analyze initial production data to identify opportunities for further performance improvements or cost optimizations.

For financial systems, we perform specialized validation procedures including transaction reconciliation, latency analysis, and security control verification to ensure all critical functions operate correctly.

Onboarding for New Clients

Knowledge Transfer

Effective knowledge transfer is critical for ensuring your team can fully leverage our specialized infrastructure. Our onboarding process includes:

  • Comprehensive documentation of your environment
  • Customized training sessions for different technical roles
  • Hands-on workshops for key operational procedures
  • Video tutorials for common management tasks
  • Regular knowledge sharing sessions with our specialist teams

All training materials are continuously updated to reflect the latest features and best practices, ensuring your team always has access to current information.

Operational Handover

A structured operational handover ensures smooth transition to regular operations:

  • Establishment of monitoring and alerting processes
  • Implementation of backup and disaster recovery procedures
  • Documentation of operational runbooks
  • Setup of communication channels and escalation paths
  • Integration with your existing management systems

We use a progressive responsibility transfer approach, gradually shifting operational tasks to your team with our specialists providing oversight and support until full capability is established.

Ongoing Support Model

Our relationship continues well beyond migration with a comprehensive support model:

  • 24/7 technical support with financial services expertise
  • Regular service review meetings
  • Proactive performance and security monitoring
  • Quarterly technology roadmap reviews
  • Compliance advisory services for regulatory changes

Each client is assigned a dedicated Technical Account Manager who serves as your primary point of contact and ensures our services continue to meet your evolving needs.

Integration with Current Systems

Hybrid Infrastructure Solutions

Many financial institutions require hybrid approaches during migration or as a permanent architecture. Our hybrid infrastructure solutions provide:

  • Secure, low-latency connectivity between on-premises and cloud environments
  • Consistent security controls and governance across hybrid infrastructure
  • Unified monitoring and management capabilities
  • Data synchronization and replication services
  • Workload portability between environments

These solutions allow for phased migrations where certain systems remain on-premises due to regulatory requirements or technical constraints while still benefiting from integration with our specialized cloud infrastructure.

Hybrid Infrastructure Solutions

API and Integration Services

Our comprehensive API ecosystem facilitates integration with third-party systems and services:

  • Financial market data integration APIs
  • Payment gateway and banking system connectors
  • Regulatory reporting interfaces
  • Identity and access management integration
  • Custom API development for specialized systems

These integration capabilities enable you to maintain connections to essential external systems and data sources while benefiting from our specialized infrastructure. All APIs are documented in our comprehensive developer portal, with sample code and integration guides for common scenarios.

For regulatory systems, we provide specialized interfaces that ensure accurate and timely data transmission while maintaining the required audit trails and verification mechanisms.

Security and Compliance Integration

Security and compliance integration is a critical aspect of any financial system migration:

  • Integration with existing identity and access management systems
  • Unified security monitoring and event management
  • Compliance reporting integration
  • Audit trail consolidation
  • Key management integration and hardware security module (HSM) connectivity

Our approach ensures that your security and compliance capabilities are enhanced rather than disrupted during migration. We provide detailed documentation of security controls and their implementation to support regulatory assessments and audits.

According to the Baltic Financial Supervision Authority, maintaining consistent security controls during migration is identified as one of the top priorities for financial institutions adopting cloud services.
