Innovation takes courage
summary
Built a global investment and advisory platform by replacing country-specific Java monoliths with three new products composed of microservices, decoupling from DB2/mainframe and deploying on OpenShift private cloud. Team locks a virtual room with business, mainframe and legal experts to design a minimal global data model, runs a 12-hour workshop with an external architect, keeps Red Hat on-call, and ships the platform in about 1–2 years with roughly 90–95% global coverage of features. Risks and iterative compromises enable the result.
