Case Study: EQ Bank achieves doubled production releases and 500% more builds per day with Jira Software

EQ Bank ups its competitive game with Atlassian cloud products

EQ Bank, the digital banking platform of Equitable Bank in Toronto, faced a classic challenger-bank problem: slow, outsourced waterfall development that couldn’t keep up with customer expectations or complex regulatory requirements. With fragmented vendor tools and limited traceability, the bank needed to scale delivery, improve collaboration across internal and external teams, and move toward DevOps and CI/CD without sacrificing compliance or security.

Working with Blended Perspectives, EQ Bank migrated to Atlassian Cloud (Jira Software, Confluence, Jira Service Management, Opsgenie) and standardized processes to enable end-to-end traceability, automated incident workflows, and faster change approvals. The shift delivered measurable results—production releases doubled and builds increased by 500%—while lowering TCO, speeding up fixes to the same day, improving auditability, and enabling customer-focused product innovations and faster growth.
