Reduce human resource effort by 35% – invest in Data Platform Modernisation

Organisations should consider data platform modernisation when their existing systems hinder performance, scalability, or the ability to leverage data effectively.

This is particularly relevant for businesses experiencing rapid growth, dealing with increasing data volumes, or aiming to implement advanced analytics and AI/ML capabilities.

Data Platform Modernisation is also for companies facing high maintenance costs, data silos, or compliance challenges.

Future Processing provides end-to-end support throughout the modernisation journey, helping businesses assess their current technology stack, plan efficient migrations, adopt cloud solutions, design robust ETL pipelines, implement strong data governance practices, and advanced analytics.

Let's talk!

Enhanced performance and analytics

Modern platforms leverage high-performance computing and cloud scalability to accelerate data processing, enabling real-time insights for quicker decision-making.

Scalability to support growing data volumes

As your business grows, so does your data. Modern platforms scale effortlessly, eliminating the need for costly hardware upgrades and ensuring continuous performance.

Support for AI/ML and advanced analytics

Modernised platforms seamlessly integrate with AI and machine learning tools, enabling businesses to uncover hidden patterns, automate processes, and gain deeper insights.

Strengthened security and compliance

Robust security frameworks, including encryption and access controls, protect sensitive data and ensure compliance with industry standards.

Technology used:

NorthStandard needed to replace their core policy and claims system with a new bespoke solution, and to clean and migrate a vast amount of data stored within the previous framework.

We created a secure and compliant management system that streamlines workflows and enhances the efficiency of data-based processes. As the system went live smoothly, our experts have been providing new functionalities based on users’ feedback.

As the new enterprise system is integrated with many third-party systems, including ERP finance system, document management, and a CRM system, it streamlines the workflows of international teams of the marine insurance giant.

million invoices processed each day

Technology used:

With millions of invoices a day being financed through countless different financial structures and banks, an incredibly flexible platform was required to support the market.

We created the infrastructure to demonstrate how the software would work before rolling out various phases of the solution. Our teams perfected project results as Demica’s commercial requirements evolved.

Through our close partnership, the platform has been enhanced with an improved architecture which enables over 20 million invoices to be processed each day, as it scales both horizontally and vertically.

What triggers the need for data platform modernisation?

The need for data platform modernisation is often triggered by the limitations of outdated technologies.

Legacy systems tend to struggle with slow performance, particularly as data volumes grow. High maintenance costs are another critical factor, as legacy systems require constant patching, frequent upgrades, and specialised expertise.

Legacy systems lack the scalability and flexibility needed to handle dynamic data, which comes in large volumes and diverse forms.

Modern data infrastructures leverage cloud computing, big data processing frameworks, and AI/ML, allowing businesses to efficiently manage and extract value from massive datasets.

The financial advantages of data platform modernisation are significant as well. Transitioning to cloud-based solutions eliminates the need for expensive on-premises infrastructure, reduces maintenance costs, and optimises resource allocation.

Key benefits of our Data Platform Modernisation services

We’re not just another vendor. We measure everything – and we stand behind it.

Our unique approach to data platform modernisation focuses on three key areas that drive real results:

Business value first – guided by our Total-Metrics Driven Approach.
Strategic delivery – through Continuous Value Discovery.
Fast tactical wins – with measurable outcomes from as early as the fourth week.

Let’s be honest, data platform modernisation can be risky. There’s budget pressure, high expectations, and very little room for error. This is where our approach really starts to differentiate itself.

Here’s what clients can expect:

Clear definition of success – No vague targets. From the outset, we define what “good” looks like in measurable terms.

Measurable results and accountability – Every phase of the work is tied to KPIs. That makes progress traceable, delays visible, and accountability built-in.

Faster time to value – Clients start seeing impact quickly – sometimes in as little as four weeks – which builds momentum and stakeholder buy-in.

Result-focused collaboration – While we prioritise short-term wins, our team stays alert to opportunities for broader improvements – whether it’s cutting waste, removing friction, or scaling future features.

Commercial predictability – The pricing model is performance-led. That means the vendor – us – is financially accountable for delivering the outcomes we agreed on.

How can we measure the success of our data platform modernisation efforts?

One of the biggest problems with modernisation projects – especially when they go off-track – is that there’s no way to prove what’s working and what’s not.

That’s why we anchor everything in metrics. We track both business-related metrics and delivery metrics. Let us give you a few examples:

On the business side – we look at time to market, operational efficiency, uptime of key services, and conversion rates. These show whether the change is having a tangible commercial impact.

On the delivery side – we measure deployment frequency, change failure rate, time to restore service, test coverage, and more. These help us understand how efficiently and safely we’re delivering.

Because these metrics are agreed up front, the client knows exactly what success looks like and can see it happening in real time. These metrics also help us adapt. If something’s off course, we’ll know early and we’ll adjust quickly.

This is not a set-it-and-forget-it model. It’s a live process, built for clarity, accountability, and continuous optimisation. The transparency it brings builds trust, enables better decisions, and ensures that modernisation delivers more than just new tech – it delivers outcomes that move the business forward.

Will the transition to a cloud-based environment disrupt our daily operations?

Our Infrastructure Modernisation services are designed for a seamless transition with minimal disruption. We meticulously plan and execute the migration, ensuring your operations continue smoothly throughout the process.

What if the new cloud infrastructure doesn’t meet our performance expectations?

We tailor the migration plan to your specific needs, continuously optimising performance. Our services include rigorous testing and validation to ensure the cloud infrastructure meets and exceeds your performance expectations.

What if we encounter issues after the migration?

Our support doesn’t end with the migration. We provide continuous monitoring, performance tuning, and support to address any issues promptly, ensuring your infrastructure remains efficient and reliable.
