Deployment Modernisation and IaC at the Core
Project Overview:
A global financial services provider needed to modernize its IT infrastructure to keep pace with growing demands in data analytics and customer service. Outdated systems limited scalability and slowed the deployment of new digital features. The client sought a cloud-native approach to improve operational efficiency, enhance service reliability, and support rapid innovation.
From the start, the strategy emphasized Infrastructure as Code (IaC), enabling consistent, automated, and secure deployments while minimizing operational overhead.
The Solution:
Unified Techs implemented a transformation plan centered on Infrastructure as Code using Terraform, combined with Agile methodologies and CI/CD pipelines. This approach built an AWS best-practice platform for Intelligent Automation (IA) services while ensuring knowledge transfer to the client’s teams.
Infrastructure as Code with Terraform:
Terraform Implementation – Introduced Terraform to define, provision, and manage infrastructure through code. This allowed fast, repeatable deployments of secure AWS infrastructure across all operational regions.
Modular Design – Created reusable Terraform modules for infrastructure components, enabling consistent deployments with minimal manual intervention.
Version Control – Stored all Terraform configurations in version-controlled repositories for better collaboration, auditing, and rollback capabilities.
Secure Operating Procedures and Platform Right-Sizing:
Used AWS Systems Manager for automated patching and integrated Session Manager for secure maintenance-level access.
Established a review process for right-sizing infrastructure, aligning resources with customer-specific requirements.
Agile Development Practices:
Formed cross-functional teams adopting Agile workflows to accelerate delivery and adapt to changing requirements.
Conducted sprint planning and reviews to ensure transparency, accountability, and continuous improvement.
CI/CD Pipelines:
Architecture:
Automated build, test, and deployment for both infrastructure and application code.
Integrated continuous testing and monitoring to ensure quality, reduce downtime, and speed up releases.
Outcome:
Through Infrastructure as Code, Agile practices, and CI/CD automation, Unified Techs delivered a scalable, secure, and efficient platform. This modernization streamlined operations, improved customer experiences, and strengthened the client’s ability to respond quickly to market changes.

Projects Benifits
- DevOps practices underpinned by the AWS Well-Architected Framework have ensured that client is aligned to best practice in the various facets of Cloud deployment including security, performance, and resiliency of the platform. Importantly, by aligning to the AWS principles of operational excellence.
- Using guidance from the Well-Architected Framework, the client were able to implement new ways of working and align the best practice principles of “operational excellence”.
- Successful knowledge transfer and training activity significantly improve the skill-sets of the client technical team.
