SUMMARY:Webinar: Reimagining Mainframe Delivery with a People-First Approach
DESCRIPTION:As one of the UK’s leading financial services groups with £1.2 trillion in total assets under management\, Legal & General (L&G) faced a series of regulatory obligations and increasing customer demands. But the firm was operating on the same mainframe systems it had used since the 1990s. L&G needed to revitalize its mainframe resource allocation and rules\, delivery processes\, and SDLC tooling. But how? \nJoin us for a live webinar to learn how L&G reimagined its mainframe experience with a people-first approach. By enlisting PopUp Mainframe and Delphix by Perforce\, L&G did just that — and more. They reduced development cycle times and improved developer experience\, reduced manual deployments and code contention\, ensured environments were available with high-quality data\, and empowered their teams with modern IDEs. \nIn this webinar\, you’ll hear directly from L&G\, PopUp Mainframe\, and Delphix on transforming mainframe engineering and: \n\nImproving delivery cycle times from development to deployment.\nCreating new mainframe environments in minutes.\nImproving quality significantly\, with early vulnerability and code contention detection and automated high-coverage unit tests.\nAdapting their mindset to maximize innovation with a new toolset.\n\nDon’t miss this opportunity to learn about an innovative approach that your business can take to mainframe engineering. Register today. \nRegister for your region at the links below \nAPAC at 10am SGT – https://hubs.li/Q02_C9v20\nEMEA at 10am GMT / 11am CET – https://hubs.li/Q02_C9HJ0\nNorth America at 12 pm CST – https://hubs.li/Q02_C9Pk0 \n
