Mozn Achieves Seamless Migration to Google Cloud, Unlocking New Sales Channels

Mozn is a Saudi-based AI technology company focused on solving three key regional challenges: providing Arabic-native AI through its platform OSOS, combating financial crimes with FOCAL, and accelerating digital transformation with Mozn Solutions. With a strong commitment to cultural relevance, security, and innovation, Mozn empowers organizations to leverage AI for better decision-making, risk management, and business growth across the region.

What happens when a critical partnership demands an entire infrastructure overhaul—practically overnight? For Saudi FinTech leader Mozn, the race to migrate to Google Cloud wasn’t just about technology, it was about securing their future in the global marketplace.

Service: Migration from Oracle Cloud to Google Cloud Platform 

Challenge:

Mozn, a pioneer in AI-driven fraud prevention, faced a pivotal moment in 2024. After a landmark agreement with Google Cloud to list its Focal App on the GCP Marketplace, they had just 90 days to migrate from Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) while meeting strict technical and compliance requirements.

 

The challenge wasn’t just about meeting a deadline, it was about positioning the company for future growth on a global scale.

 

This migration had to be flawless, with zero downtime, as Mozn’s platform was crucial for preventing fraud in real-time. The company also needed to ensure it could continue to comply with local regulations while gaining access to global customers. The stakes were high, as a successful migration would unlock new sales opportunities and accelerate Mozn’s expansion.

 

Key Hurdles:

  • Technical Complexity: Focal’s AI models required retraining for GCP without disrupting real-time fraud detection.
  • Marketplace Readiness: GCP Marketplace certification demanded architectural changes for auto-scaling, IAM controls, and billing APIs.
  • Local Compliance: Data sovereignty laws mandated keeping sensitive financial data within Saudi Arabia.

 

“We needed a partner who understood both our technology and the stakes,” said Mozn’s CTO. 

CloudFlow was entrusted to handle the migration seamlessly, meeting both technical and compliance requirements.

Solution:

CloudFlow orchestrated a comprehensive migration strategy, addressing the complex technical and regulatory challenges Mozn faced. The team started by completely redesigning the architecture of the Focal app, using GCP’s AI Platform and BigQuery to rebuild its microservices. This allowed the platform to meet Saudi data sovereignty requirements through region-specific data pipelines.

 

The migration itself was executed without any downtime. CloudFlow set up parallel environments and routed real-time traffic, ensuring that the platform remained fully operational throughout the process. Perhaps one of the most impressive achievements was CloudFlow’s ability to automate the deployment and achieve GCP’s security review in just 14 days. As a result, Mozn was able to list its application on the GCP Marketplace within 60 days, unlocking access to over 200K+ global enterprises.

 

  • Architecture Redesign: Rebuilt Focal’s microservices using GCP’s AI Platform and BigQuery, implementing region-specific data pipelines for Saudi compliance.
  • Zero-Downtime Cutover: Executed a seamless transition with parallel environments and real-time traffic routing.
  • Marketplace Acceleration: Automated deployment and achieved GCP security review in record time (50% faster than the industry average).

Key Outcomes :

Mozn achieved 100% uptime during the migration process, safeguarding over $1M in daily transactions. The company was able to list Focal on the GCP Marketplace ahead of schedule within 60 days, gaining access to a global customer base. Furthermore, the use of GCP’s TPUs (Tensor Processing Units) resulted in a 40% faster AI inference, improving the real-time fraud scoring capabilities of the Focal app.
