Describe the challenge the customer was facing:

The financial institution needed to exit its data center rapidly due to high operational expenses. With over 50 applications distributed across 1,200 servers and complex dependencies between databases and applications, they required a robust disaster recovery and continuity plan. Additionally, their core business applications needed to be replatformed to AWS with minimal downtime, demanding an automated approach to manage the scale and complexity of the migration.
