Challenge
Improve banking access with innovative services
To support its vision of changing the lives of millions of Indonesians, BTPN wanted to innovate faster and more efficiently—and test and release on a more regular cadence. BTPN decided to adopt a modern, agile application development approach, including DevOps and continuous delivery via automation. “Our integration and deployment processes were mostly manual, with many human interventions required at every stage,” said Jufri Fan, head IT solution architect at BTPN. “As a result, development and testing was slow, and deployment speeds affected the team’s ability to deliver new, valuable services.”
Solution
Deploy an agile enterprise solution
After evaluating several solutions, BTPN decided to deploy Red Hat OpenShift® Container Platform as the foundation of its agile DevOps environment. “Red Hat demonstrated how their expertise would help us deploy an agile solution within 6 months, with support for continuous integration and delivery,” said Jufri. The bank also migrated its back-end storage systems to Red Hat Gluster® Storage for scalable, automated, and standardized data storage. BTPN engaged Red Hat Consulting for support and training.

Business Outcome
Support key DevOps initiatives
BTPN’s new platform automates resource provisioning and scaling, improving speed to market. Provisioning an application used to take several days—now, the same process can be completed in minutes. Application deployment time was also reduced from days to minutes. “We have seen spectacular speed improvements,” said Jufri. “This agility translates into our customers enjoying new services much faster than before.” The bank also reduced operating expenditure (OpEx), including licensing costs. In addition, with help from Red Hat Consulting, BTPN stabilized its OpenShift deployment and optimized container storage performance and automation.
Our DevOps initiative has helped us adopt new technologies and develop our skills to enable our digital transformation. … With this foundation in place, we are able to continue our improved pace of innovation to meet our customers’ needs.
