Cloud Migration Strategy
Designed a phased lift-and-shift migration approach, ensuring seamless transfer of 35+ TB of legacy data to AWS with cost and performance optimization.
Transforming Compliance and Efficiency with DocuSwift
Aavas Financiers, a leading Indian NBFC, faced increasing pressure to scale securely while meeting regulatory and performance demands. Aging on-premises infrastructure, storage limitations, and unmasked sensitive data were impacting operational efficiency and compliance. In partnership with HabileLabs powered by Amazon Web Services, Aavas modernized its document management and data security using native AWS services to achieve scalability, resilience, and compliance at scale.
Challenge: Legacy Systems and Unmasked Data Put Compliance at Risk
- Outdated on-premises infrastructure that could no longer grow with the business and regulatory needs.
- Rapid increase in document data (35+ TB) causing storage limits and slow performance.
- Sensitive customer and financial data remained unprotected, raising compliance and audit risks.
- Disconnected systems (DMS, LOS, LMS) leading to broken workflows and limited customer visibility.
- High operational and maintenance costs due to manual management of infrastructure.
- Limited disaster recovery and business continuity, increasing the risk of downtime and data loss
Modernizing Data Security and Document Workflows with AWS
HabileLabs delivered the following AWS-based initiatives to address Aavas Financier’s scalability, compliance, and operational challenges:
AI-Powered Data Masking
Deployed FinHub on Amazon EC2 G4 instances to automatically detect and anonymize sensitive PII, safeguarding compliance across large datasets.
Centralized Document Workflows
Implemented DocuSwift, an API-first DMS hosted on AWS services, providing secure, searchable, and fast access to documents for multiple departments.
Authentication & Access Control
Managed user authentication with AWS Cognito and enforced role-based access across all layers using AWS IAM.
Monitoring & Alerts
Enabled real-time metrics and alerts through Amazon CloudWatch, with AWS Backup supporting policy-based disaster recovery.
High Availability & Disaster Recovery
Deployed an Active-Active DR architecture across AWS Mumbai and Hyderabad regions, ensuring continuous availability and zero data loss.
