Case Study: Australian Stock Transfer Company achieves faster, more cost-efficient cloud migration with Persistent Systems

Australian stock transfer company consolidates post-acquisition stack for enhanced services

The Australian Stock Transfer Company, a provider of corporate trust and stock transfer services, faced a significant challenge after acquiring a US-based corporate trust services unit. The acquisition required migrating over a hundred applications and repositories from various tech stacks while lacking an existing DevOps culture, standardized release processes, and expertise in containerization. They engaged Persistent Systems to consolidate the post-acquisition technology stack onto their private cloud and OpenShift platform.

Persistent Systems implemented a comprehensive solution, migrating all source code repositories to Azure DevOps Git and establishing templatized CI/CD pipelines. They introduced a standardized branching strategy and provided a DevOps-as-a-Service model to automate the delivery cycle. This enabled the client's development teams to focus on building applications while significantly improving operational efficiency. The outcome provided enhanced cost visibility and the ability to provision environments on demand, resulting in savings of 20-25% for non-production environments.
