Virtusa Helps Currencies Direct Embark on Cloud Transformation Journey with IaC Automation Platform

Virtusa Corporation, a global provider of digital strategy, digital engineering, and information technology (IT) services and solutions, announced that, through IaC (Infra as Code Automation) it had successfully delivered landing zone, target state architecture and migrated pilot applications to help Currencies Direct with their cloud transformation journey.

This project demonstrates Virtusa‘s strengths in discovering, assessing, and building complex architectures for the Amazon Web Services (AWS) Cloud. This is significant as it involves automating the landing zone and target state architecture through Terraform and CDK based IaC automation, helping Currencies Direct to migrate their applications in future via a DevOps platform. While migrating several applications as part of the pilot phase, Virtusa also conducted several Proof of Concepts (POCs) including various ML technologies to help Currencies Direct in arriving at a suitable target state architecture.

Another significant feature of this project was leveraging AWS Migration Acceleration Program (MAP) funding and provide expert guidance to help ease both the technical and financial complexities for the client.
