Development of a robust framework and a secure, automated solution to ensure smooth migration of data from legacy systems to AWS while maintaining flexibility in distribution across file formats and channels.
Client
A large NY-based life insurance and investment company
Goal
Create a secure, automated solution for data ingestion and a robust framework for distribution across channels
Tools and Technologies
Python, PySpark, AWS Glue/Redshift/Lambda/S3/Aurora, Stonebranch, Jira, Github
Business Challenge
The client used a legacy product data infrastructure (PACE) and other systems that provided neither fully-secure access nor enabled efficient quality checks. This affected system integration and data ingestion and distribution.
Workflows and checks were not adequately automated, and they did not offer a reusable framework to generate and deliver outbound data files aligned with business requirements.
Solution
- Created reusable and scalable ETL/ELT pipelines using Python and AWS services
- Integrated Stonebranch for orchestration and automated job scheduling, with monitoring mechanisms and alerts
- Tuned Redshift queries and optimized data ingestion processes to reduce latency and improve throughput
- Defined data specifications and output formats as per business needs
- Built a configurable pipeline to create dynamic CSV/Excel files from Redshift views
- Automated file delivery via email/SFTP monitored and orchestrated by Stonebranch
Outcomes
- Improved data distribution and a reusable framework for ingestion and distribution of data across existing and new products
- Streamlined operations and improved data accessibility
- Enhanced performance and scalability
- Ensured better data quality and governance with automation and structured reusability

Modernizing Java & Spring Boot with iRenew
Learn how enterprises can modernize legacy Java and Spring Boot apps using a semi-automated approach that improves performance, reduces tech debt, and accelerates time-to-market.
Modernizing enterprise applications is a complex challenge. It often requires manual or semi-automated refactoring to assess the impact of upgrades, automation, and cloud migration. Key considerations include cross-platform compatibility, performance, security, scalability, and talent availability.
Many enterprise systems—especially those built on older versions of Java and frameworks like Spring Boot—are reaching end-of-life. Java 8 and Spring Boot 1.x/2.x, for example, no longer meet today’s security and performance demands, prompting organizations to consider modernization.
Iris iRenew offers a structured, semi-automated methodology to upgrade legacy Java applications. By combining open-source tools, refined processes, and deep migration expertise, iRenew drives 36–39% efficiency gains by automating key phases like discovery, refactoring, and testing.

Modernizing multiple legacy accounting systems into a unified AI-powered cloud platform achieves new levels of scalability and intelligent reporting.
Client
Large NY-based life insurance & investment company
Goal
Modernize multiple legacy accounting systems to achieve operational efficiency, scalability and improved data analytics
Tools and Technologies
Python, Oracle, SQL Server, AWS Server, Jira, StonebranchBusiness Challenge
The insurer sought a comprehensive cloud-based solution using modern infrastructure and automation to address key challenges. The Singularity platform was selected to integrate investment data from multiple accounting systems, including SS&C CAMRA, Blackrock, IDCFX, Mackay, and Marked Price, into a unified solution.

Legacy System Modernization for Cloud
Upgrading technology infrastructure to modular, cloud-native design increases functional efficiency and security for major insurer’s commercial real estate business.
Client
Large NY-based life insurance and investment company
Goal
Modernize technology systems in commercial real estate functions to reduce bottlenecks, response times and vulnerabilities
Tools and Technologies
.NET 8, Angular 17+, Docker, Kubernetes, GitHub, AWSBusiness Challenge
The insurer’s commercial real estate mortgage unit required upgrades to the technology systems supporting its loan processing and cash management capabilities. Reliance on .NET Framework 4.8 and Angular 9 posed significant limitations, including restricted agility, difficulty adopting microservices, and challenges attracting top engineering talent. The existing monolithic, non-cloud-native architecture led to performance bottlenecks and slow response times. Outdated protocols created security vulnerabilities, while limited DevOps integration and complex debugging made cloud migration costly and inefficient.
Solution
- Migrated the technology stack to .NET 8 and Angular 17+ for better cross-platform compatibility and long-term performance
- Adopted Docker and Kubernetes to enable scalable, cloud-native deployments on AWS
- Implemented CI/CD automation using GitHub Actions for faster and more secure release cycles
- Refactored legacy application into a modular monolith and microservices for agility and maintainability
Outcomes
- Improved application performance and responsiveness delivered faster, smoother user experiences
- Boosted developer productivity and team collaboration and streamlined testing and onboarding
- Strengthened security and compliance with up-to-date platforms and better integration with security tools
- Enabled scalable, reliable, simplified deployments using containerization and orchestration
- Reduced long-term maintenance effort and costs through clean, modular code and better monitoring

R3 Corda 5, Azure, AWS, G42, Docker, Kubernetes, Helm Charts, Terraform, Ansible, GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps, Jenkins, Prometheus, Grafana, Slack IntegrationBusiness Challenge
Complex Multi-Node Deployments require a mechanism to upgrade CorDapps, notaries, and workers across network participants without downtime or compatibility issues. Meanwhile, security and compliance risks demand strict access controls, network segmentation, and security hardening to protect Corda nodes and ledger operations.
For infrastructure scalability and automation, an efficient approach was required for onboarding new participants and managing network topology across cloud environments. The lack of a Real-Time Monitoring system necessitated the detection of transaction failures, tracking node health, and providing proactive alerts.
To address security vulnerabilities, continuous scanning and security enforcement across CorDapps, containerized nodes, and CI/CD pipelines were required.
Solution
- Enabled zero-downtime CorDapp deployments with automated rollback and stateful upgrades, ensuring stability and ledger integrity
- Secured Corda nodes with RBAC, network segmentation, and security hardening, while optimizing autoscaling for dynamic ledger workloads
- Automated Corda network topology and participant onboarding using modular Terraform & Ansible configurations, ensuring scalability and repeatability
- Implemented real-time monitoring with Prometheus & Grafana, with Slack-based alerts for transaction failures and node health anomalies
- Ensured high availability and auto-healing for Corda network nodes and ledger operations
- Integrated DevSecOps with automated vulnerability scanning for CorDapps, containerized nodes, and CI/CD pipelines
Outcomes
- Accelerated blockchain deployment cycles through CI/CD automation increased deployment frequency by 40% and reduced failures by 60%
- Optimized kubernetes workloads for Corda 5 through efficient resource management resulted in 15% cost savings and improved ledger performance
- Scalable & secure blockchain infrastructure reduced manual intervention by 30%, enabling seamless scaling of Corda network participants
- Proactive incident management for DLT networks through real-time monitoring cut response time by 50% for blockchain issues, ensuring high availability
- Automated workflows accelerated development cycles by 25%, enhancing collaboration across blockchain and DevOps teams
