Banking & Finance

Faster banking change.
Lower production risk.

Banks are adopting Agile and DevOps to move from legacy systems to new digital landscapes. High volumes of change across integrated banking platforms raise the risk of production failures that customers, regulators and the press notice immediately.

PinnacleQM has a 30-year international banking track record. We combine delivery experience with AI automation and virtual workers that increase capacity, so banking professionals spend less time supporting IT projects and more time on customers.

Voice of the customer

In the words
of our customers.

We integrated Pinnacle’s teams and solutions into our capability. Services and solutions engaged within project delivery, business acceptance, patching and upgrades. We automate much more, with minimal backlogs as we automate within sprints. Business user satisfaction has never been higher.
Chief Technology Officer Enterprise systems client
Pinnacle now supports our SAP S/4HANA projects, integrations, maintenance and patching changes, reusing automation for scaled data obfuscation for offshore development teams and automating business processes. Great collaboration. I cannot imagine doing this without them.
SAP Programme Director SAP S/4HANA programme
We use Pinnacle’s services and automation platform for all our test and automation demands. Virtual worker bot groups replace each business team’s need to support changes. A small Pinnacle offshore team manages a massive library of tens of thousands of automated transactions. This is a massive saving and value to our company. We love this collaborative way of working.
Vice President, HR Services Enterprise client
After working with Pinnacle on client projects, we now involve them in business projects and maintenance too. Projects run smoother, with realism and optimisation in schedules. We deliver more reliably and achieve greater customer success. They set a high bar for communication, pace and quality.
Delivery Executive Software company
Pinnacle has helped ensure our customers are on latest versions and manage impacts to client systems. A valued partner in delivering upgrades and integrations, their automation frameworks work well with our platforms.
Executive Software company
We struggled to meet growing demands using traditional tools. With Pinnacle, we adopted several of their SaaS automation platforms. Now we have an army of virtual bots running any time, and we are not struggling to maintain script libraries anymore.

Banking questions

Banking testing,
answered plainly.

Common questions from banking technology and business leaders.

Can PinnacleQM automate testing of core banking and mainframe systems?

Yes. Enginuity automates mainframe and green-screen applications as well as web, mobile, API and database layers, and one natural-language test can follow a banking process across all of them. PinnacleQM automated end-to-end lending for a Big 4 bank across more than 30 systems, including mainframe, client-server, mobile and external credit services.

Do you support banking messaging standards such as LIXI?

Yes. PinnacleQM’s banking accelerators include LixSim, an automation framework for LIXI lending messages, and Enginuity supports LIXI message and API testing. BankTest supports international banking message standards, so interfaces and messages can be tested at volume alongside user-facing banking processes.

How do you reduce the testing burden on banking business teams?

Authorise automates business acceptance: users define their acceptance criteria once, virtual workers run the processes and record video evidence, and users approve online. PinnacleQM also automates repetitive administrative tasks linked to IT change, so banking staff spend their time on customers and operations rather than repeated test cycles.

How does PinnacleQM support banks moving to Agile and DevOps?

INsight consultants assess your delivery maturity, Agile and DevOps practices and automation, then build a practical roadmap that reduces risk and effort across banking change programmes, with priorities sequenced by business value. Delivery teams can also draw on PinnacleQM for scalable testing capacity and consultancy on Agile, DevOps and AI automation as banks move from legacy systems to new digital landscapes.

Can we use PinnacleQM's banking test automation as a service?

Yes. BankTest and Enginuity are provided as a service, hosted on AWS or Azure, with virtual testers running banking processes and messaging standards 24/7 and results reported for every run. Banks gain automated coverage without building or maintaining their own toolchain, and managed regression services with a stable core team and four-tier governance are available for continuous change.
