Deutsche Bank IT Infrastructure Migration to Google Cloud

This document is a case study detailing Deutsche Bank's migration of its IT infrastructure to Google Cloud. The case study outlines the challenges faced by Deutsche Bank, including outdated technology, high licensing costs, and limited flexibility due to its on-premises data centers. It describes the engagement with GFT, which involved over 100 cloud experts who transformed the bank's IT culture, processes, and technology. The rapid discovery phase allowed for the analysis and classification of applications in a short timeframe, while migration planning included the development of CI/CD processes and deployment of automated GCP Landing Zones. The benefits of this migration are significant, including cost and time savings through architectural consolidation, accelerated migration of critical applications, and standardization of processes that have reduced risk and improved production timelines. The case study emphasizes the strategic impact of these enhancements on Deutsche Bank's competitive advantage.
