Challenge 

A health insurance company with locations across North America faced critical inefficiencies in managing its non-production test environments.​​

The number of test environments was deemed excessive, lacking pragmatic and holistic management. Furthermore, environment management practices were not aligned with delivery planning and release management.​​

The company sought to transition from a traditional corporate IT organization to a cloud-based SaaS provider. This transition required careful implementation to avoid disruptions to ongoing improvement initiatives, scaled agile, DevSecOps, CI/CD pipelines, and test automation efforts.​
 

CPT Global’s Actions 

To address these challenges, CPT introduced a Bimodal Test Environment Strategy, focusing on consolidating assets and eliminating ad-hoc management practices.​​

Two test environments were repurposed to support mainframe and
distributed applications, ensuring robust UAT.​​

A fit-for-purpose training environment was established, governance
processes were strengthened, and CI/CD capabilities were enabled.​

Standardizing and automating test environment management
helped reduce the number of non-production environments and
optimize costs.​
 

Results 

  • Created a Bimodal Environment Strategy to allow a stable transition to agile development and testing frameworks.​
  • Achieved cost optimization and reduced delays in delivery schedules.​
  • Implemented a successful Test Environment Management roadmap, driving improvements in governance and operational management.​
  • Delivered a significant foundation for future digital transformation efforts, ensuring stability and scalability for ongoing initiatives.​

Partnering with CPT Global empowered the insurer to streamline operations, enhance efficiency, and lay the foundation for future technological growth.
