Realizing value with hybrid by design at USAA
summary
USAA describes a deliberate five-year hybrid strategy that modernizes 1,500 WebSphere applications by refactor—rewrite—replace rules: refactor to Red Hat OpenShift, rewrite custom services to AWS, replace commoditized functions with SaaS. A unified cloud risk framework (eight dimensions) and three pipelines enforce governance and secure “safe landing.” Data warehouse lift enables analytics and an aerial imagery using drones claims product on AWS that pays members faster. Setup takes ~2.5–3 years but yields faster delivery and lower duplicate tech.
