## **Challenge** 

A health insurance company aimed to extend their CI/CD pipelines and test automation, which had been successfully implemented for distributed systems, to include their mainframe development process.​​

The goal was to modernize mainframe development, foster collaboration, and establish a seamless, automated delivery pipeline across all systems.​​

However, integrating legacy mainframe infrastructure with modern DevOps tools presented challenges in compatibility, scalability, and developer accessibility.​  
 

## **CPT Global's Actions** 

CPT worked with the client and IBM to integrate Zowe into the DevOps toolchain, modernizing mainframe development. Key actions included:​​

- Establishing automated builds and testing for mainframe development, ensuring changes were verified before merging.​
- Using GitHub, Jenkins, Docker, and Ansible to streamline workflows and automate deployments.​​
- Leveraging zD&T to enable fast, on-demand mainframe provisioning for testing and development.​​
- Enhancing system accessibility with REST API integration, enabling modern developers to work efficiently on mainframe systems.​  
   

## **Results**

- **Unified mainframe and distributed development** in a single CI/CD pipeline for better collaboration.​ 

- **Reduced deployment time** through automation and on-demand provisioning.​ 

- **Improved developer productivity** by modernizing mainframe workflows and tools.​ 

- **Created a scalable, hybrid cloud-like environment** integrating legacy and modern systems.​ 

By partnering with CPT Global, the insurer modernized their mainframe development, achieving enhanced efficiency and collaboration.
