Governance, risk management and compliance (GRC) form a top-tier of requirements for banks anywhere in the world as they create and deploy applications. A close second nowadays is speed to market, and responsiveness to changing customer expectations and demands.

So when Finansbank, an Istanbul-based bank, knew they had to better manage risk -- but not lose time-to-market advantages -- they did a thorough analysis of available IT products and services. The result was an impressive record of managed risk and deployments, with an eye to greater automation over time.

BriefingsDirect had an opportunity to learn first-hand how Finansbank extended its GRC prowess while smoothing operational integrity and automating speed to deployment using several HP solutions at the recent HP Discover 2013 Conference in Barcelona.

Learn how from Ugur Yayvak, Senior Designer of Infrastructure at Finansbank in Istanbul. The discussion is moderated by me, Dana Gardner, Principal Analyst at Interarbor Solutions.

As developers are pressured to produce mobile and distributed cloud apps ever faster and with more network unknowns, the older methods of software quality control can lack sufficient predictability.

And as Agile development means faster iterations and a constant stream of updates, newer means of automated testing of the apps in near-production realism prove increasingly valuable.

Fortunately, a tag-team of service and network virtualization for testing has emerged just as the mobile and cloud era requires unprecedented focus on DevOps benefits and rapid quality assurance.

BriefingsDirect had an opportunity to learn first-hand how Shunra Software and HP have joined forces to extend the capabilities of service virtualization for testing at the recent HP Discover 2013 Conference in Barcelona.

Learn here how Shunra Software uses service virtualization to help its developer users improve the distribution, creation, and lifecycle of software applications from Todd DeCapua, Vice President of Channel Operations and Services at Shunra Software, based in Philadelphia. The discussion is moderated by Dana Gardner, Principal Analyst at Interarbor Solutions
