We moved a Lagos payments company’s core ledger from an overloaded on‑premise cluster to a hybrid cloud, one domain at a time, while customers kept transacting.
Results
Measured over the first six months in production.
01
The challenge
Every payment the business processed touched one on‑premise ledger. Growth had pushed it past capacity: nightly batch reconciliation was spilling into business hours, and every release needed a four‑hour maintenance window.
The brief was blunt. Move to the cloud, keep the regulator comfortable, and do it without customers noticing.
02
The approach
We ran the old and new ledgers side by side, moved one domain at a time, and only cut over when the numbers matched to the kobo.
03
The outcome
Cutover finished early on a Sunday morning with zero failed transactions. Reconciliation that used to take a night now runs continuously, and the team ships several times a day instead of once a month.
Client voice
“Bettalabs rebuilt our ledger in twelve weeks and we haven’t had a reconciliation incident since. They work like our own senior team, not a vendor.”
