Case Study: a large financial services company gains real-time mainframe visibility with Precisely Ironstream

Global Fintech leader integrates mainframe into Splunk® with Ironstream

A large financial services company relied on IBM mainframes to power its critical global credit card processing but found its systems siloed and unable to integrate with its Splunk platform. The complex, high-volume mainframe data could not provide the real-time visibility and analytics needed for modern IT operations. Attempts to build an in-house solution were time-consuming, costly, and added significant overhead. The company turned to vendor Precisely for a solution.

Precisely implemented its Ironstream solution to automate the collection and forwarding of mainframe machine data into Splunk. This provided the company with comprehensive, real-time visibility into system performance and business processes, enabling proactive operations and deeper analytics without requiring mainframe expertise. The results included better business decisions, improved customer service, and a greater return on their Splunk and mainframe investments, with plans to expand into advanced fraud detection and customer behavior analytics.
