" summary

Nationwide reports concrete outcomes: 105 agile teams growing 35% a year, 60% of new development routed through agile, software quality improves ~50% and system downtime drops ~70%. Teams adopt Eclipse IDEs for COBOL/CICS, Maven/Jenkins/Sonar pipelines, Tasktop to sync Rational, HP and CA tools, and a virtual mainframe testing setup that moves tests off paid MIPS. Automation shrinks deployment time — deployments cut from days to minutes — reduces critical defects, raises availability, and enables continuous integration at scale.
