Success StoriesCloud Migration of Integration/API COE for Global Leader in Home & Security Solutions
#1 global distributor of security products with 130+ years in business
Business Need
Objectives Driving Transformation
A global leader in home and security solutions required migration of its Integration/API COE from an on-premise environment to the cloud to improve scalability, agility, and operational performance. The legacy architecture constrained the movement of large data volumes and contributed to rising infrastructure costs and technical debt. Leadership sought to modernize integration capabilities, retire outdated systems, increase productivity, and improve enterprise confidence in data integrations across business platforms.
- Migrate integration and API infrastructure from on-premise to cloud
- Modernize architecture to support large-scale data movement
- Retire legacy systems and reduce technical debt
- Improve performance and productivity of data integrations
- Reduce infrastructure and maintenance costs
- Increase reliability and confidence in enterprise integrations
Modernize the Integration and API Center of Excellence by migrating from on-premise infrastructure to the cloud to improve agility, performance, and cost efficiency.
Challenge
Barriers to Progress
The migration involved more than 450 mappings and associated workflows, requiring careful orchestration under an aggressive timeline driven by budgetary constraints. While an automated CAI tool converted approximately 40% of assets, the remaining 60% required manual intervention and specialized expertise. Coordinating delivery while maintaining integration stability and minimizing business disruption added complexity to execution.
- 450+ integration mappings and workflows requiring migration
- Compressed timeline aligned to budget targets
- Partial automation (40%) requiring significant manual remediation
- Dependency on advanced technical skillsets for manual conversions
- Risk of disruption to enterprise data flows during transition
Solution & Results
What Paradigm Enabled
Paradigm executed a rapid cloud migration strategy, decommissioning PowerCenter and fully transitioning the Integration/API COE to Informatica IDMC. A rapid asset deployment model introduced five offshore resources within two weeks to accelerate delivery. Automated and manual conversion efforts were tightly coordinated to complete migration of all 450+ mappings within three months. The modernized cloud architecture improved integration performance and enabled consolidation of Salesforce environments, reducing redundancy and technical complexity.
- 450+ mappings migrated within 3 months
- 32% improvement in integration performance
- 85% reduction in Salesforce instances through consolidation
- Decommissioned legacy PowerCenter platform, reducing technical debt
- Rapid onboarding of 5 offshore specialists within 2 weeks
- Full migration of remaining 60% of mappings through expert-led manual conversion
The organization now operates with a modern, cloud-native Integration/API COE that enhances agility, reduces infrastructure cost, and delivers scalable, high-performance data integration across the enterprise.
