Case Study: Large International Bank achieves DevOps-driven digital transformation with Compuware Topaz Workbench

Topaz Helps Drive DevOps, Digital Transformation at International Bank

A large international bank with 146,000 employees embarked on a digital transformation to improve customer engagement and decided to put the mainframe at the center of its IT strategy after recognizing its reliability for business‑critical applications. The bank’s goals were to modernize mainframe applications, remove obsolete technology, and make the platform part of a cross‑organizational Agile/DevOps approach while making mainframe work accessible to next‑generation developers.

After a two‑month RFI and hands‑on testing, the bank selected Compuware Topaz Workbench for its integrated toolset, ease of installation, strong support, DevOps integrations (e.g., Jenkins, SonarSource), and API openness. Topaz enabled the bank to include the mainframe in its DevOps architecture, accelerate onboarding for newer developers, boost developer productivity and code quality, and reduce costs.
