London, UK, 15th February 2017 - Validata Group, the leader in Continuous Testing and Release Automation is pleased to announce that it has been selected by Sagicor Group Jamaica, to provide its Validata ABC software for release and deployment automation, and Close of Business (COB) monitoring.
Sagicor have been users of Validata’s V-Conn for more than a year now for Financial Reconciliation and have taken the strategic decision to opt for Validata ABC in an effort to have the speed and agility they need to get new application updates and services to their clients. By accelerating application deployment and ensuring quality releases at minimum downtime, both development and operations teams will further contribute to the company’s continuous business growth.
Validata ABC is an end to end release and deployment automation tool that can provide a comprehensive Continuous Delivery infrastructure to meet your business needs. It facilitates deployment of new versions, new releases and features more efficiently by automating execution of tasks which are tedious and error prone to perform manually.
Ivan Carter, CEO at Sagicor Group Jamaica commented, “Validata gave us the confidence that they have the necessary experience, technology and domain knowledge to support us in our release automation initiatives and optimize project delivery. Having seen the benefits of their technology, it was only natural to extend this partnership across other Temenos T24 projects.”
Vaios Vaitsis, Founder and CEO of Validata Group added, “Extending our partnership with Sagicor is a significant achievement for us, and demonstrates our position as a technology leader in the region and continuous commitment to our clients. We look forward to help them add real value to their projects as their Strategic Partner. Our experience has shown that moving code through development environments to QA, then pre-production before going live, made up 50% of the delivery effort. With Validata ABC, we can reduce the efforts in deploying changes by half, delivering software 25% faster.”
