Case Study: BNP Paribas achieves 7–10x faster deployments and stronger security with CloudBees CI

BNP Paribas CIB Transforms with DevOps to Stay on the Forefront of Global Banking Industry

BNP Paribas Corporate and Institutional Banking (CIB), the global investment-banking arm of BNP Paribas operating in 56 countries, faced a sprawling development landscape—thousands of users, 800+ applications and a mix of legacy, in‑house and open‑source tools. Fragmented toolchains and manual processes created silos, slowed delivery and made it hard to ensure the stability, security and compliance required in a highly regulated banking environment.

The CIB DevOps team standardized on CloudBees CI to build a self‑service, enterprise orchestration platform integrated with the bank’s security and privacy controls, pilot tested across technologies and teams, and iterated with CloudBees support. The new platform enabled deployments 7–10× faster, greater scalability for 800+ projects, improved security, stability and developer experience, faster time‑to‑market and recognition with a DevOps innovation award.
