Case Study: 3M Health Information Systems provisions development pipelines in minutes with Amazon Web Services (AWS) Service Catalog

3M Health Information Systems Provisions Development Pipelines in Minutes Using AWS Service Catalog

3M Health Information Systems (3M HIS) needed a faster, more secure way to provision and govern CI/CD pipelines across global teams. Manual pipeline builds created bottlenecks, configuration errors, and slowed application startup and customer feedback, while the organization required strong adherence to information-security policies.

Working with an AWS Premier Consulting Partner, 3M HIS implemented AWS Service Catalog and AWS CloudFormation to deliver preapproved, team-specific pipelines on AWS CodePipeline and Jenkins, enforced with IAM least-privilege roles. The result: new pipelines are provisioned in about 10 minutes instead of days, reducing bottlenecks, improving consistency and compliance, minimizing manual errors, and laying the groundwork for full self-service automation (including future AWS Lambda-based approvals).
