Case Study: BankZ achieves faster, predictable, and compliant enterprise releases with XebiaLabs (XL Release)

BankZ Stays on Top With XebiaLabs Continuous Delivery Tools

BankZ, a large financial services firm, had initial success with Jenkins for CI and XL Deploy for automated deployments but struggled to scale pipeline orchestration across hundreds of applications. Jenkins required thousands of custom scripts, offered little visibility for non-developers, and lacked the enterprise reporting, controls and analytics BankZ needed to meet compliance and speed digital delivery.

By adopting XebiaLabs (XL Release alongside XL Deploy) and integrating it with their existing toolchain, BankZ standardized and automated release pipelines, added dashboards and auditability, and minimized developer plumbing work. The results: 25,000+ release scripts reduced to 8 templates, new functionality delivery cut from months to weeks (initial rollout of 60 apps in 3 weeks), average release times down from 8 hours to ~30 minutes, XL Release managing 900+ apps, and an 80% reduction in failures.
