Test Environment Strategy and Management for large US Health Insurer.

• Repurpose two existing test environments to deliver a reliable, robust externally available test capability
• Establish a fit-for-purpose Training environment
• Improve governance processes, operational management and monitoring of non-production environments
• Enable foundational capabilities for Continuous Integration / Continuous Delivery
