Case Study: Nonprofit Financial Services Organization accelerates product development by up to 91% with Informatica Test Data Management

Bringing Products and Services to Members Faster with Rapid Data Testing

The Nonprofit Financial Services Organization is a member-owned fraternal benefit society serving 2.3 million members with insurance, investment and retirement services. Its 300-person development team needed to adopt agile practices to deliver more customized products faster, but development often stalled for up to six months because obtaining appropriate, secure test data could take two to three weeks.

The organization deployed Informatica Test Data Management, Test Data Generation and the PowerCenter Data Validation Option to automate provisioning, create masked “golden” test records and continuously monitor for unmasked data. That eliminated the multiweek wait for test data, cut product testing time by about 50%, shortened development cycles to two–four weeks (reductions of up to 91%) and enabled faster, more secure delivery of member-focused solutions.
