Government agency achieves 75% improvement in Deployment Speeds, with Deployit 3.5

The Netherlands Chamber of Commerce chooses Deployit to maximize productivity and reduce time to market for applications

BOSTON, MA--(October 27th, 2011) - XebiaLabs, the leading provider of enterprise-class application release automation solutions today announces that Deployit was selected by The Netherlands Chamber to enable their deployment team with an automated platform for speedy and efficient deployments.

The government agency had previously run an automation platform in their environment but the existing platform was not producing the deployment speeds that would be necessary for the Chamber to reach its aggressive deployment plans for 2012 - 2017. The decision to rip and replace came just before a planned boost in deployments for the company as they prepared for a 20% increase in the number of applications, a month. The Chamber has already reported a 75% increase in speed to market for applications.

“We had heard about the success that AirFrance-KLM were experiencing with Deployit and we were interested to test it in our own environment. By removing the manual components of the process, the platform sped up the process. Another cool benefit is the ability to track each deployment and audit multiple deployments under one self-service console. Deployit is an extremely effective tool and I highly recommend it”, says Victor Hagemann, Head of Department Middleware at the Netherlands Chamber of Commerce.

The Chamber will bring the entire application landscape onto Deployit, over the coming months. Having a single console for deployment activity also allows them to report the progress to other departments and to cohesively manage the process. The team also plans to allow developers to deploy the applications themselves onto the dev environment and testers to deploy to test environments. This is only made possible with a user-friendly tool like deployit.

“The Netherlands Chamber of Commerce have a respected and forward thinking IT organization and they continue to push the boundaries of speed and efficiency. We were delighted to partner with them and to power an already robust deployment team with an effective deployment automation tool”, says Coert Baart, CEO at Xebialabs.

ROI:

• 50% Increase in Resource Utilization
• 75% reduction in Time to Market for Applications
• Clear Audit trails for mandatory audits (4 times a year)
• Happy and enabled IT team. Dev and Ops working together

“We are finding that Best-in-Class IT organization are embracing Deployit because it is aligned with their overall goal of enabling a fast and effective IT department. A department that is powering business choices”, adds Oonagh O’Regan, VP of Marketing, at Xebialabs.
