Camirel Africa, a leading provider of cutting-edge B2B payment gateway solutions in Africa through their world-class product, Camirel CamiCollect, faced the growing challenge of scaling their infrastructure to meet increasing demands. Their existing setup on Google Cloud Platform (GCP) needed an upgrade. Partnering with Computech Limited, they embarked on a seamless migration to AWS to enhance scalability and performance.
Assessment and Planning
Computech Limited initiated the project with a thorough assessment of Camirel Africa’s infrastructure. By closely collaborating with Camirel’s IT team, they identified critical applications, data flows, and security requirements to craft a customized migration plan. This phase laid the foundation for a well-orchestrated migration process.
Pilot Migration
To mitigate risks and validate their strategy, Computech executed a pilot migration. Key applications, including Camirel CamiCollect, and data were transferred to the AWS environment in a controlled
manner. This phase allowed the team to address potential issues early and optimize performance, ensuring minimal disruption during the full-scale migration.
Full-Scale Migration
With the insights from the pilot phase, Computech moved forward with the complete migration. Utilizing AWS Direct Connect for high-speed, secure data transfer, and AWS Database Migration Service (DMS) for seamless database transitions, the migration was executed in carefully planned stages. This approach minimized downtime and preserved data integrity.
Integration and Testing
Post-migration, Computech focused on integrating Camirel’s applications within the AWS ecosystem. Rigorous testing was conducted to ensure compatibility, performance, and security, resulting in a fully optimized and functional environment.
Training and Support
To empower Camirel Africa’s IT team, Computech provided comprehensive training sessions on AWS. They also established a robust support system to ensure Camirel could leverage AWS’s advanced features confidently, driving continuous innovation.
Outcome
The migration was a resounding success. Camirel Africa now benefits from enhanced scalability, improved performance, and significant cost savings. With AWS’s cutting-edge features and Computech’s
unwavering support, Camirel CamiCollect can continue providing secure and efficient B2B payment gateway solutions tailored for the African market.
