Abstract: Obliviousness about standard procedures or guidelines makes it harder to create effective and efficient frameworks to facilitate migration of applications and data to a different cloud environment. In every country, there are small financial institutions which cater for the local communities. If these small financial institutions decide to have their business solutions in house, it will require a lot of overhead cost and skilled man power to maintain these systems. The purpose of this study is to develop a cloud migration framework microfinance banks in Accra Ghana as a case study. Various decision frameworks have been developed for migrating enterprise-level data and applications to cloud solutions, however this comes at a huge cost in terms of initial capital outlay. A comprehensive review of the strengths and weaknesses of existing cloud computing models and frameworks was conducted. The outcome revealed that existing models and frameworks for migration to the cloud might be useful but require some huge cost and skilled personnel to maintain the systems. A new model or framework was developed to create the opportunities for microfinance banks and other related institutions to adopt the new cloud computing era to save cost and also gain greater part of the market share.
