Abbey National Expands Testing Access with Lexcel Interface Manager
Abbey National, one of the UK’s largest personal financial services
companies, has chosen Lexcel to consult and implement an enterprise-wide
platform that would enable desktop access to all testing personnel in the UK
and Spain
Abbey National’s Quality Assurance and Development personnel had been
utilizing Lexcel’s stand-alone X.25 and TCP/IP versions of Lexcel TestSystem® Network – LIS5 ISO for their LINK pre-certification and internal testing. With the acquisition of Abbey National by
Banco Santander Central Hispano in November 2004 and the extension of Abbey
National in the Spanish marketplace, they realized their testing platform also
required expansion. As a result,
Lexcel® Interface Manager™ was integrated into their environment to facilitate access to multiple Host
systems- creating a robust system that now enables transaction exchanges
between Host systems in the UK and Spain, and desktop access through dedicated
connections enterprise-wide.
As a testament to the success of the new configuration, two months
post-implementation, Abbey National was able to successfully prepare for and
execute LIS5 platform conversions and system validations utilizing their new
Lexcel Interface Manager architecture.
