Case Study: a multinational banking and financial services company streamlines banking platform delivery with Planit

How performance testing and service virtualization unlocked speed and efficiencies from a new banking platform

A multinational banking and financial services company faced the challenge of modernizing its complex and difficult-to-manage technology environment to deliver better digital customer experiences. To differentiate its offerings with a "mobile first, human supported" model, the bank needed to ensure its new platform was performance-ready. The bank enlisted Planit to leverage its performance testing and service virtualization expertise to embed quality into the development lifecycle and mitigate risks early on.

Planit implemented a tailored solution that integrated performance testing into the CI process and utilized service virtualization to decouple testing from legacy systems. This approach identified five high-severity performance defects early and saved the bank an estimated $500,000 in environment costs and another $500,000 in mainframe licensing and connection costs. The successful delivery of the new platform positioned the bank for future expansion, with Planit's work enabling a successful beta launch and setting a foundation for a bank-wide digital core.
