Cloud Strategy
Radian cloud readiness project proved to us Radian’s ability to
adopt the cloud as a centerpiece to our modernization, despite
significant change management demand ahead of us.
Modernization both short term
and long term will benefit from
the cloud strategy. And IT
innovation will become a strong
enabler of Radian’s business
strategy.
Customer meetings and
compliance research has shown,
the customer concerns around
the cloud will be mitigated by our
security posture and encryption
approach.
… while maintaining an inherited posture of continuous technology and financial
improvement.

capacity to obtain facets of data
for transaction and analytical
consumption

• NPI Vault
• Encrypt everything
• AWS provided services
Centralize information to achieve
simple enterprise architecture

everything in a flexible data
format to facilitate easy
consumption
Automation is a style vs. end state • Automate the last and most
frequent change step in your
process (Kanban process)
Rapid Prototyping • Be open to change update your
architecture/design
