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

Providing Consistent, Unconstrained Access to Environments for Partner Integration

A leading financial services institution faced slow, costly partner onboarding because new partners had to integrate and certify against a shared mainframe partner portal. That single test environment was also used by internal dev and QA teams, causing scheduling conflicts, lengthy environment cleanups, and downtime that disrupted global partners—delays that directly reduced revenue—and duplicating mainframes for a separate partner environment was prohibitively expensive.

The organization implemented Parasoft Virtualize service virtualization to capture and emulate 100% of the mainframe behavior partners require, recording live requests/responses and exposing them as virtual assets. New partners can be granted access in minutes (by assigning a data range), partners get a stable 24/7 test environment, internal teams can deploy without impacting certification work, and the result is faster, more cost-effective partner onboarding with fewer scheduling bottlenecks.
