When a global card issuer moved its data centre from the US to India, 25 critical finance processes had to be reconfigured — under strict regulatory timelines, and while month-end close was already taking more than 12 days with over 30 staff working overtime.
Why reporting is the hard part
Regulators do not grant extensions because a data centre moved. Every report that drew on the old processes had to keep arriving on time, correct, while the processes themselves were rebuilt. Manual workarounds would have added to the overtime the move was meant to remove.
What we did
- Mapped source-to-target data flows for the finance processes
- Configured the ETL processes that feed reporting
- Built a unified finance data ecosystem underneath the reports
- Automated finance workflows end to end through data integration
