Leading financial organization modernizes IBM i development
with multi-platform delivery pipeline using ARCAD and Azure DevOps

Case Study Leading Financial Organization

Context

One of the largest multinational banking and financial services corporations in Canada sought to replace their legacy change management tool with one that supported their DevOps and automation requirements and the cloud-centric digital side of the business.

Challenge

In 2022, with a core business application developed in RPG and years of investment on IBM i, the digital banking division faced several key challenges: “siloed” IBM i development, security vulnerability, manual deployment, concurrent development, manual handling of SQL, and ILE, conflicts of local changes on standard package, and segregation of duties.

Solution

After a thorough evaluation, the IBM i team selected ARCAD for DevOps thanks to its tight integration with Git, Azure DevOps, advanced automation of IBM i build and deploy, and built-in metadata repository which would bring a major productivity benefit for developers.
