How a Regional Bank Accelerated Application Delivery with HCL DevOps Deploy

The Challenge

“We like to disrupt a bit,” says a key developer and DevOps engineer at the bank, as he explained how his company takes a different approach to banking than its larger competitors. “We operate with a strong regional and community focus, and we’ve set ourselves up to be agile, delivering code and services quickly, but just as importantly, establishing a reliable and easy-to-manage development cycle.”

The bank needed new applications to be deployed in minutes and new environments to be delivered much more quickly than the five weeks it typically took. “Our bank’s customers want their services now; and they typically want access from their smartphone or device. We had significant issues with delivering in a timely manner and keeping pace with our competition,” says the DevOps engineer. “We ended up with process bloat and were looking for ways to operate differently and respond to our customers – both internal and external - more quickly. I think any IT group operating in a company the size of our bank experiences pain associated with delivery times and the management of environments. I’m sure we’re not the only organization with thousands of spreadsheets managing enumerable processes throughout the operation.”
