DevOps Implementation for a Leading Global Bank

This case study explores how MindCraft transformed the credit card division of a leading global bank, operating in over 160 countries with 200 million customer accounts, by addressing critical challenges in their software development lifecycle (SDLC). The client faced numerous issues, including ineffective handoffs between globally distributed teams, lack of uniform code review practices, manual and cumbersome deployment processes, and insufficient visibility into project progress.

MindCraft implemented a robust environment that fostered seamless collaboration among developers, testers, and business users through tools like JIRA and Confluence. High degrees of automation were introduced into the CI/CD pipeline, enabling more efficient sprint cycles and reducing deployment failures.

The results were transformative. MindCraft’s solution brought stringent quality control through enforced code reviews and comprehensive use of quality gates, significantly reducing defects and rework. The implementation of a single source code repository with a well-defined branching strategy ensured smooth operations across time zones, while continuous early feedback loops improved the overall quality and speed of feature availability. The bank gained full visibility into its DevOps process performance through an exhaustive list of KPIs, enabling better decision-making and enhancing productivity.

This case study demonstrates the impact of a streamlined and automated SDLC on global financial institutions, and we invite you to contact us to learn how we can help your organization achieve similar success.

The client is a leading global bank, with around 200 million customer accounts and business in more than 160 countries. The client provides consumers, corporations, governments and institutions with a broad range of financial products and services, including consumer banking and credit, corporate and investment banking, securities brokerage, transaction services, and wealth management.
MindCraft built an environment that allows developers, testers and business users to collaborate seamlessly using tools such as JIRA and Confluence. High degrees of automation were introduced into the CI/CD pipeline, thereby effectively supporting sprint cycles.

A comprehensive use of quality gates ensured complete control of quality of deployments. Further, strictly enforced code reviews helped adherence to standards and reduced rework. An exhaustive list of KPIs was generated to provide full visibility into the DevOps process performance.

Moreover, a single repository of source code combined with a well-defined branching strategy ensures smooth functioning of SDLC in a geographically distributed environment with teams working across time zones. Infusing early feedback linked to features/user stories enables continuous release and improves overall quality levels.

The implementation provided a stable operating environment

The client was able to achieve a deployment frequency of ten minutes for development environments and every 4 hours for QA environments

The solution facilitated seamless collaboration

This ensured timely completion of sprint cycles and release of features much faster into Production thereby giving the client a competitive edge.
