The Client
Nimble Accounting LLC is a US-based financial accounting, software development, and services company. Their solutions are designed to empower business owners with actionable financial and accounting insights across multiple businesses, locations, and profit centers, without having to depend on manual accounting systems. With financial data being highly sensitive, securing applications and meeting compliance requirements were top priorities for the client.
The Challenge
Nimble Accounting operated its infrastructure entirely on-premises, creating limitations in scalability and service delivery. The client faced difficulties in meeting customer expectations for stability and sustainability. Legacy systems led to frequent performance bottlenecks and limited availability across workloads. Security gaps left sensitive financial data vulnerable to threats. Rising operational costs from hardware maintenance added further strain. Manual provisioning slowed responses to customer requirements. Resource constraints limited flexibility and innovation. The lack of automation reduced efficiency and increased risk. To stay competitive, the company required a secure, scalable, and reliable solution. Cost optimization alongside enhanced performance and security became critical business needs.
The Solution
Anjana Cloud Services designed and executed a comprehensive migration strategy for Nimble Accounting’s Windows workloads to AWS, creating a secure, scalable, and high-performing environment. The modernization leveraged AWS-managed services and serverless compute to reduce operational overhead and ensure compliance. Microsoft SQL Server databases were migrated to Amazon RDS for SQL Server with AWS DMS for near-zero downtime, while Windows-based applications were deployed on Amazon EC2 with Systems Manager managing patching, automation, and configuration. Amazon S3 provided durable, encrypted storage for application data and backups, and AWS Lambda automated event-driven tasks such as financial document processing, log parsing, and cleanup operations. Identity services were modernized with AWS Managed Microsoft AD for centralized, secure integration, while security and isolation were reinforced through Amazon VPC, Security Groups, IAM policies, and AWS WAF to protect against DDoS and injection attacks. Sensitive configuration data was secured in AWS Systems Manager Parameter Store, and all data in RDS and S3 was encrypted using AWS KMS. Operational visibility and compliance were enhanced with CloudWatch, Config, and CloudTrail, supported by real-time alerts via SNS. Together, these improvements delivered a modern, compliant, cost-optimized platform ready to scale with Nimble Accounting’s business growth.
Benefits
Nimble Accounting LLC improved performance and security after successfully migrating its workloads to AWS. Anjana Cloud Services executed a well-architected strategy that enabled a seamless transition of Windows-based applications and SQL databases from on-premises to the AWS Cloud. The migration addressed key challenges around scalability, reliability, cost-efficiency, and compliance. By leveraging services such as EC2, RDS, and Lambda, the company achieved near-zero downtime, a 30% cost reduction, and improved scalability through elastic infrastructure. Security was strengthened with IAM, WAF, and KMS, while Systems Manager, CloudWatch, and CloudTrail delivered centralized management and real-time monitoring. As a result, Nimble Accounting now operates a modern, secure, and efficient cloud-native environment that provides a more reliable and responsive customer experience.
