CHALLENGES
The bank has a myriad of diverse systems installed within the organisation running on disparate technologies and thus creates complexity on the correct DevOps tools to be used to support these systems.
At the same time, the bank has a large development organisation churning a lot of software code on a weekly basis which is expected to benefit from DevOps to accelerate deployment/release management.
