DevOps transformation programs and the implementation of Agile and Continuous Delivery practices can significantly accelerate time to market for new products. They can also increase the quality of the applications you build within your enterprise – and, through these improvements, increase the value of the services you deliver and deliver ultimate customer experience.

By implementing DevOps, Temenos T24 clients optimize deployment pipelines and reduce leads time so that software is built and delivered with quality, speed and less risks.

The most common lead times that DevOps can effectively reduce are:



Slow and complex approval processes
Approval processes work within large enterprises only when they are based on correct data. Manual processes that use email or Microsoft office tools usually lead to faulty approvals that reduce quality, slow down approvals and –generally- delay software delivery teams. On the other hand, continuous delivery practices and deployment pipeline automation highly improve speed since everything till the moment of realizing the product is fully automated.

Environment Management and Provisioning
Waiting for an environment to be created in order to test a new feature can be really time-consuming and nerve-wracking for the development team. Automation is the key as it reduces lead times and costs while increasing the productivity of development and QA teams.

Manual Testing
Manually testing the code base, increases lead times and costs while automated testing  is the one that ensures lead times, cost and effort reduction. It provides better and faster testing coverage, it is more accurate and less expensive than the manual testing. Developing automated test scripts may be a bit more expensive in the beginning but in the end there will be a higher Return on Investment  (ROI) as automated tests will be reusable, more reliable and will provide better test coverage.

Manual Software Deployments
In the T24 world the patches received during an implementation project can exceed the 600 in number, and even after go live new products and new developments become available to the client. In order to be able to effectively monitor and  manage environments,  the deployment and release process need to be optimized , controlled and  standardized . This can be achieved only by a niche automation solution that understands and recognizes the Temenos T24 specifics such as the BConn packages and the T24 Model.  By automating deployment you can easily achieve reduced lead times by over 90% without the need to do major organizational changes.  Actually, the more automated the process is the more reliable it will be.
