Case studies
Large Government Agency Develops a Cloud Roadmap
Challenge:
A major government agency, though already using some cloud services, lacked a cohesive strategy to transition its full IT infrastructure and applications from an on-premises data center to a public cloud environment. They required a clear, scalable plan to guide this transformation securely and efficiently.
Solution:
Luminous Computer Systems partnered with the agency to develop a comprehensive ICT Cloud Roadmap. Our team conducted an in-depth assessment of the existing IT infrastructure, evaluating cloud compatibility and mapping applications to their supporting servers. We identified rationalisation opportunities, examined network dependencies, and engaged directly with application owners to assess cloud readiness. Custom migration approaches were designed based on each application’s specific requirements.
Value Delivered:
The agency received a detailed view of its current IT and application landscape, along with a practical, phased plan for transitioning to the public cloud. The roadmap included projected operational and transition costs, enabling the agency to build a strong, data-driven business case for cloud migration. This initiative laid the foundation for a secure, scalable, and cost-effective cloud strategy aligned with long-term government digital goals.
Global Medical Company Automates a Secure Cloud Workspace in Azure
Challenge:
A leading global medical company required a secure, scalable, and automated cloud workspace in Microsoft Azure for workload deployment. The solution needed to rapidly provision segregated environments, support robust tagging for chargeback tracking, and seamlessly integrate with Identity and Access Management (IAM) tools, including Multifactor Authentication and Conditional Access. Additionally, it had to include automated monitoring, threat detection, analysis tools, and a fully auditable system.
Solution:
Luminous Computer Systems engineered a comprehensive solution leveraging Infrastructure as Code (IaC) and custom Azure ARM templates. Our experts deployed Azure Automation to build the operations pipeline, while Azure DevOps was used for work item tracking and deployment orchestration. We integrated industry-leading tools including FireEye for threat detection, LogicMonitor for performance monitoring, and IAM systems such as Okta, Thycotic, and Saviynt to ensure secure identity governance. The entire environment was fully documented and embedded with automated tagging and audit capabilities.
Value Delivered:
The solution empowered the client to securely deploy workloads while maintaining strict governance, transparency, and compliance. Departmental cloud expenditures can now be effectively tracked, with robust tagging enabling precise chargeback reporting. A complete audit trail ensures readiness for compliance reviews, helping the organisation meet its security and operational goals while accelerating digital innovation.
Engineering & Construction Leader Establishes Azure Government Tenant with Secure Landing Zones
Challenge:
A prominent engineering and construction services firm aimed to pursue U.S. government contracts that required a compliant Azure Government tenant with landing zones capable of handling Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI). To meet federal compliance requirements, including CMMC standards, the company needed a secure, scalable, and well-governed cloud foundation.
Solution:
Luminous Computer Systems leveraged its expertise in cloud security, architecture, and governance to design and implement a secure landing zone framework within Azure Government. Using Infrastructure as Code (IaC), our team deployed initial landing zones tailored for compliance with government standards. We also delivered reusable ARM templates to support future expansion, along with a detailed deployment guide to ensure consistency and manageability.
Value Delivered:
The client now operates in a compliant Azure Government environment, fully aligned with CMMC requirements, allowing them to confidently handle federal workloads. With reusable infrastructure templates and documentation in place, the client is well-positioned for efficient scaling and rapid environment provisioning. This successful implementation also supported their achievement of 3PAO certification, enabling them to bid on and manage sensitive federal projects with assurance.
Large Commercial Bank Aligns Cloud with Strategic Business Goals
Challenge:
A major commercial bank sought to embed cloud capabilities into the heart of its business strategy. Their objectives included cost reduction, revenue growth, faster innovation, and accelerated time-to-market. However, they faced challenges related to legacy systems, technology debt, and the need for a structured, long-term cloud transformation plan.
Solution:
Luminous Computer Systems partnered with the bank to craft a comprehensive multi-year cloud roadmap, encompassing Legacy Modernisation, Cloud Transformation, and Technology Rationalisation. This roadmap was tightly aligned with the bank’s strategic priorities, targeting operational resilience, technology refresh, and enhanced scalability. Foundational cloud platforms and core capabilities were implemented to ensure long-term service stability and agility.
Value Delivered:
Through this strategic engagement, the bank optimised both cloud-native and on-premises services by embracing cloud sourcing, service streamlining, and intelligent use of existing technology investments. The transformation empowered the bank to respond more effectively to market shifts, supported better decision-making via strategic focus area insights, and enabled tangible business outcomes through a modernised, agile cloud environment.
Global Financial Services Firm Achieves Major Cloud Cost Optimisation
Challenge:
A global financial services organisation was grappling with uncontrolled cloud spend, exceeding $5 million per month, due to ineffective financial governance and a failed FinOps initiative. The lack of transparency and accountability across business units made cost control nearly impossible.
Solution:
Luminous Computer Systems was brought in to implement a robust Cloud FinOps strategy. Our team assessed existing financial processes, developed a performance scorecard, and delivered actionable cost optimisation recommendations. We also designed a FinOps organisational structure tailored to the client’s operational model and guided the rollout across business units to instill cost discipline and operational accountability.
Value Delivered:
The result was a rapid and measurable impact — the client reduced their monthly cloud expenditure by $2 million within the first 30 days. Beyond cost savings, the organisation gained renewed confidence in its FinOps capabilities, supported by a transparent, scalable framework that enables long-term cloud financial management and value realisation.
