How Allstate is addressing the challenges of DevOps Day 2
summary
Allstate migrates its largest billing application off SLM onto IBM Rational Team Concert, wires Jenkins pipelines to Agent Smith security scans and the company compliance dashboard, and prototypes deployments with IBM UrbanCode Deploy. Developers use an Eclipse-based IDE and USS on Z, with pipeline as code stored in Team Concert and artifacts in Artifactory. A single declarative mainframe pipeline compiles COBOL and scans copybooks, giving continuous compliance evidence, faster onboarding of college hires, and a measured but unfinished shift toward cloud‑like DevOps.
