Case Study: Dachis Group achieves faster software turnaround — from 17 days to 5 — with Atlassian Confluence

With Atlassian, Dachis developers spend more time coding, less time logging reports

Dachis Group, an Austin-based social media analytics firm that monitors over 50 million social signals and 1 million brand advocates for Fortune 500 clients like Philips, Nestlé, and Estée Lauder, needed to speed feature delivery and free developers from non-coding overhead such as logging reports, filling forms, and copying code. Their goal was to minimize time-to-customer while letting engineers focus on development.

By adopting Atlassian tools (Jira Software, Confluence, Bitbucket, Fisheye, Crucible) and a Kanban approach, Dachis streamlined code reviews, issue tracking, and deployments—using Crucible and Bitbucket for review and storage and Capture for Jira to create descriptive bug tickets from screenshots. The new workflow cut bug turnaround by two days and reduced overall software turnaround from 17 days to 5, giving the team the visibility and flexibility to work more efficiently.
