Challenge

KamelPay provides streamlined salary processing and expense payment services for businesses. As growth accelerated and expansion into Saudi Arabia loomed, their hybrid infrastructure, partly on-premise and partly on AWS, became a bottleneck.

They needed to:

• Eliminate on-prem limitations
• Meet bank integration and encryption requirements
• Complete a zero-downtime migration within Q2
• Retain infrastructure control (no managed services)

“We had exhausted our current on-prem capacity and wanted to move to the cloud so it would be much easier to scale higher.”  KamelPay team

Why VeUP

KamelPay selected VeUP based on their deep AWS knowledge and hands-on execution model. They required:

• Private tunnel and MPLS consultation
• Full control over configurations
• A phased migration approach with robust support
• Infrastructure as Code (IaC) for future-proofing

Our Approach

3. Validation
