Case Study: Starz achieves faster releases and greater collaboration with Atlassian Bamboo

Starz drives efficiency and collaboration across teams with Atlassian

Starz, the Denver-based media and entertainment company behind shows like *Spartacus* and *The White Queen*, needed a better way to deliver content across TV, mobile, and web platforms while aligning software releases with marketing and sales. To solve this, Starz turned to Atlassian Bamboo as part of a broader Atlassian ALM stack, alongside Jira Software and Confluence, to improve collaboration and streamline development.

Atlassian Bamboo helped Starz integrate build and release workflows within a single system, supporting faster, more agile development across technical and business teams. The results were significant: Starz saved $100,000 in software costs in the first year after moving to Jira, and more than $500,000 after adding Tempo; the Magnetar team also cut major release cycles from about three months to every three weeks.
