Welcome to the team Adam Walley | Back to the top

Successful Azure migration | Back to the top
We are very pleased to report that the migration of our production services to Azure has now been completed successfully. This has been an incredibly complex project to deliver, which brings so many benefits both immediate and as we move forward; from better scalability & resilience, to security enhancements, to better deployment processes, new tools & services and much more.
A big thank you to all of our staff involved in successfully delivering the project: ensuring our clients were well informed about the migration and the requirements to update DNS records for their custom domains, testing the data feeds, and setting up / testing both the internal and production environments and for making required code changes necessary to support Azure.
We were joined briefly during the deployment by Keira who popped in to “help”. Her main tasks were to keep up morale and to check that all the bins had been emptied, tasks which she performed admirably.
If you have any questions or comments on the Azure migration, please contact moneyinfo Head of Operations gavin.trevett@moneyinfo.com
