Climbing to the Cloud With Simulated Environments
Kyle Brown/Jochem Feekes
Santander/Parasoft
Like many organisations, Santander, a large retail, and commercial bank based in the United Kingdom, is working through digital transformations to improve their ability to deliver applications more effectively. The organisation is optimising their environment by migrating their application landscape to the cloud.
Kyle Brown, lead engineer at Santander in the UK, is heading the charge by implementing service virtualisation. His initial tactic was to optimise test environments and development efforts using the industrialised method. After discussions and alignment with leadership, it became clear that Santander needed a different approach.
With a focus on supporting the cloud migration, Kyle adjusted his methods. In this session, he’ll share how the Santander team successfully simulated existing applications that didn’t exist yet in this near-greenfield implementation. These efforts sped up the flagship project of migrating to the cloud while continuing to help traditional software projects reach their goals.
Learn how Santander:
- Optimised their cloud migration by using simulations.
- Rapidly reduced the time to reach project efficiency by 30%.
- Customised an industrialised method to create their own simulation framework.
