Cloud Migration to Optimize IT Resources
Industry: Finance & Tax
The gwp group is a consulting firm with offices in Zurich and Frankfurt. It supports financial institutions in meeting regulatory requirements and building efficient, compliance-driven IT infrastructures.
Founded in 2014, the company has become a trusted partner to banks and asset managers in Switzerland. gwp develops integrated solutions for complex risk and control systems, helping clients meet supervisory requirements while building secure and future-ready IT infrastructures.
Status quo
gwp’s existing on-premise infrastructure was outdated, inflexible, and increasingly difficult to maintain.
Managing sensitive financial data placed high demands on IT security and availability. At the same time, the internal IT team was tied up with maintenance tasks, leaving limited capacity for strategic initiatives. A modern, scalable solution was urgently needed to meet regulatory and operational requirements.
The challenge
Due to regulatory constraints, gwp needed a highly secure and reliable IT infrastructure.
The legacy system was neither efficient nor scalable, and access management was time-consuming. The company sought a solution that would enable remote access for employees, ensure compliance with financial regulations, and reduce IT workload and operational costs – while supporting future scalability.
The solution
CONVOTIS implemented a full migration to a secure, multi-tenant cloud platform.
The architecture includes encrypted data storage, role-based access, and centralized monitoring and administration. Backup processes were automated and infrastructure scalability ensured. The new system supports high availability and meets financial sector compliance and security requirements.
The result
With the new cloud solution, gwp reduced IT costs, increased data security, and enabled employees to work remotely.
The IT team gained capacity for strategic projects while maintaining compliance and high system availability. Sensitive data is now protected by modern standards, and operational processes have been automated for improved efficiency.
