Objectives
To rapidly deploy 34 cloud migration specialists for a global software company, enabling seamless transition from legacy infrastructure to modern cloud architecture, while ensuring zero disruption to existing operations and accelerating time-to-value across migration workstreams
Background & Business Need
A fast-growing global software company was at a critical inflection point. Years of legacy infrastructure had created technical debt that was slowing product velocity, limiting scalability, and increasing operational risk.
The decision was made, migrate to the cloud.
Fully. Strategically. At speed.
But ambition met reality quickly:
- The internal team lacked the bandwidth and specialised cloud expertise to execute at scale.
- Project timelines were aggressive; clients were waiting.
- Hiring through conventional channels was slow, inconsistent, and produced poor-quality pipelines.
- Hiring through conventional channels was slow, inconsistent, and produced poor-quality pipelines.
SheWork was brought in to make it happen.
Background & Business Need
One of India’s largest nationalized banks, working with a top IT services provider, was using a database system that was stable but very costly. The high license fees and limited flexibility made it hard to innovate.
As customers started expecting faster and smoother digital banking, the bank decided to move to PostgreSQL. But there was a big gap as they didn’t have enough skilled DBAs to handle such a large migration.
They needed more than just people. They needed a partner who could deliver results from Day One. That is why they chose SheWork, trusted for its ability to quickly source niche talent and ensure smooth project execution.

Solutions by SheWork
SheWork designed a purpose, built a talent deployment strategy, combining precision sourcing, structured trial validation, and cohort, based onboarding to meet the client's unique requirements.
Trial Method, Validate Before You Commit
Rather than deploying all 34 resources at
once, SheWork implemented a structured trial phase, allowing the
client to assess real-world performance before full onboarding.
This eliminated the risk of poor fit at scale and gave both parties
confidence before full commitment.
Cohort, Based Deployment
Resources were deployed in carefully structured cohorts, ensuring
each wave of professionals was onboarded, integrated, and
productive before the next cohort began. This approach-
maintained delivery continuity and prevented operational overwhelm
during the migration.
Deep Technical Pre-Screening
platforms, AWS, Azure, and GCP, as well as migration tools, Terraform,
Kubernetes, CI/CD pipelines, and DevOps practices. Only validated,
deployment, ready professionals advanced to the client stage.
Proactive Talent Engagement
engagement throughout the process, ensuring offer acceptance
translated into actual joining through regular touchpoints and offer
management.
