Practice 02 · Platform Engineering

Engines that power AI outcomes.

One governed AI platform on the clouds you already use, with security built in from the first environment.

Why now

“Every new AI workload waits months for a platform and a security review.”

Day one of most migrations
  • No documentation

    The real estate lives in spreadsheets and tribal knowledge.

  • Hidden dependencies

    Systems that look separate have to move together.

  • Tightly coupled monoliths

    Large applications that cannot move, or scale, in parts.

The Migration Factory starts by making all three visible.

Capabilities

Everything your AI products stand on.

The AI platform every product runs on, and the foundation, migration and operations under it.

  1. AI platform

    One governed engine for every AI product.

  2. Guardrails, governance and security

    Build the controls in, not on.

  3. Cloud foundations for regulated workloads

    Build the regulated foundation once.

  4. Migration and modernization

    Move the workload, and leave a pattern.

  5. Developer platform

    Make the approved way the fastest way.

    See the developer hub
  6. Run and improve

    Keep it healthy after launch.

Where you are

Every company is somewhere on its maturity journey.

Maturity differs from company to company, and from team to team inside one company. CWX meets each team where it is and takes the work up to production.

  1. Step 01

    Exploring

    Many AI ideas and migration options, no ranked priorities, leaders not aligned.

    CWX enters atAI Value Accelerator
  2. Step 02

    Piloting

    Pilots and migration waves stall without proof of ROI.

    CWX enters atProof of value sprint
  3. Step 03

    Executing

    A sponsor and a budget, but workloads and AI use cases never reach production.

    CWX enters atProduction Run
  4. Step 04

    Scaling

    A few workloads and use cases live, but one-off wins do not spread.

    CWX enters atScaled Transformation

Every step moves the work closer to production.

What our forward deployed teams deliver

Four kinds of work, one team.

  • Migrations

    Regulated workloads and legacy platforms

    Dependencies mapped first, then rehost, replatform or rebuild in waves, with the legacy stack retired.

    Inside the Migration Factory
  • Platform Engineering

    Cloud foundation

    Secure multi-tenant foundation, advanced hybrid networking, infrastructure as code, policy guardrails and cost governance, with self-service provisioning for lines of business.

  • Data AI/ML

    Data platforms and models

    Batch and streaming ingestion from core systems, petabyte-scale processing, lakehouse modeling, governed BI and ML data.

    Explore Data AI/ML
  • New products and use cases

    Governed AI, launched

    New products launched with agentic AI that meets bank-grade governance and compliance requirements, delivered as outcomes on the CWX governed agent platform.

    Explore AI Engineering

Security and compliance in all four. Controls mapped to your framework, policy-as-code enforcement, encryption and key management, privileged access.We engage at the stage you have reached, and own the outcome from there.

The Migration Factory

The AI-Powered Migration Factory.

The proven approach stays the same. AI and agentic AI help at every stage.

Six phases, AI in every one

From an estate with no documentation, hidden dependencies and tightly coupled monoliths, to workloads that are migrated, modernized, compliant and cloud-native.

  1. Phase 0

    Govern

    The operating model, financial baseline and governance that steer the program.

    • Automated TCO and risk
  2. Phase 1

    Discover

    The true as-is estate, captured automatically: no spreadsheets, no tribal knowledge.

    • AI discovery and code scan
  3. Phase 2

    Foundation

    A secure foundation before migration: remediate the landing zone, or build one in parallel.

    • AI security posture
  4. Phase 3

    Rationalize

    The right move for every application, sequenced into dependency-aware waves.

    • Agentic 7 Rs disposition
  5. Phase 4

    Implement

    Build, migrate and modernize each wave. Pods own delivery, AI does the heavy lifting.

    • Generative AI build, refactor and test
  6. Phase 5

    Cutover

    Cut over with zero downtime, validate, and hand a fully documented estate to Day-2 operations.

    • AI runbooks and monitoring

Faster: agentic discovery, code analysis and generative build collapse months of manual work into weeks. Safer: AI security-posture reviews and automated guardrails keep every wave compliant and incident-free. Smarter: evidence-based 7 Rs disposition, every move backed by code, dependency and currency analysis.

How we work

Your people and ours, one outcome.

Forward Deployed Strategists (FDS) own the front of the motion. Forward Deployed Engineers (FDE) take it to production. Both embed with your teams, so you leave with capability, not a dependency.

    Forward Deployed Strategists (FDS)

    • Map the estate and its dependencies
    • Decide each application’s move on evidence
    • Agree the controls with your security team
  2. An engineer working through a tangle of network cables02 · FDE

    Forward Deployed Engineers (FDE)

    • Build the landing zone and AI platform once
    • Migrate in waves, leaving a pattern for the next
    • Run it until your team is ready, then hand over

Before CWX

Our leaders’ experience, inside regulated banks.

Before CWX, our practice leaders ran large data center exits, on-prem estates of thousands of VMs, multi-petabyte platform migrations and application modernization programs inside leading North American banks. Security, privacy, compliance and operational readiness: designed in from day one, proven in production.

  • 2Data centers exited
  • 10PBData platforms migrated, zero data loss
  • 600+Regulated workloads migrated
  • 60+Services modernized off legacy stacks
  • 100+Client staff trained to operate what was built
  • 1,000+Production deployments
  • Proven talentLeaders who have run these programs inside banks, paired with deep cloud engineers.
  • Battle-tested blueprintRisk ownership established early, evidence mapped to each control owner, every review gate built into delivery.
