Case Study: Leading Financial Services Institution achieves rapid partner onboarding and 24/7 mainframe test access with Parasoft Virtualize

Leading Financial Organization Creates Virtual Mainframe & Reduces Testing Costs

A leading financial services institution faced growing delays in onboarding new business partners because partner certification required testing against a costly mainframe-based "partner portal" that was also used by internal dev and QA teams. Shared use caused scheduling conflicts, lengthy environment cleanup, and downtime that disrupted global partners and slowed partner recruitment.

The company implemented Parasoft Virtualize to emulate 100% of the mainframe behavior partners need, capturing requests and responses to create virtual assets that can be provisioned in minutes (via a simple Excel configuration). Partners get a stable, always-on test environment without touching the mainframes, internal teams can deploy freely, and the organization now onboards partners faster and more cost-effectively.
