We had a lot of challenges to begin with. There was a big vacuum of tools when we started looking into it. For us it was natural that we knew what we were struggling with, and management was looking into doing something different, something better. We started looking out for some of the tools and solutions that could help us bridge that gap.

In the past, we used a mainframe system BS2000 and UC4. We used this before and was able to use BS2000 with 2000 agents, which was very important for us. We decided to use UC4 before so we are in contact with Atomic the whole time.

We were not using anything before. We were planning to do this solution by Automic at that time because the product was by Automic. They gave us a product overview and showed us what we could do with the tool. That was the start of us making a proof of concept and investing in that direction.

We have used only custom deployment scripts (each team has their scripts, we did not have any standards for that), for a solution like this. Major reason for this purchase was our DevOps project. As a short introduction to this project, we started our DevOps transformation at our bank and we were solving problems like build automation, provisioning automation, test automation, and deployment automation as well. We wanted to have one complex DevOps delivery pipeline which consists of all of these interconnected tools, and we made it.
