Case Study: Catalyst Consulting Group cuts Salesforce deployment time from hours to minutes with Blue Canvas

How Blue Canvas helped Catalyst unlock the potential of DevOps for 20 BAs and 10 developers in under a week

Catalyst Consulting Group is a Chicago-based Salesforce consulting firm that was supporting a large municipal government rollout of Salesforce Service Cloud and Communities on Government Cloud. The team had 10 developers and 20 business analysts, but its Jenkins, Bitbucket, and Ant-based deployment process created a major bottleneck because only one person could deploy, and non-technical BAs had no Git experience.

Blue Canvas gave Catalyst an automated Salesforce DevOps workflow with metadata backup on save, sandbox compare and deploy, and Git-backed version control hidden behind an admin-friendly interface. With Blue Canvas, the full 30-person team was productive within a day, 20 BAs began deploying on their own without Git training, and deployment time dropped from about half a day to just minutes while improving visibility, auditability, and control.
