Case Study: ICE Mortgage Technology (Ellie Mae) achieves 20% developer efficiency gains and secure, zero‑downtime CI/CD with CloudBees Core

Fast, Secure Software Delivery Helps Ellie Mae Stay on Top of Mortgage Processing Industry

Ellie Mae, a Pleasanton, CA–based SaaS provider that processes more than 30% of U.S. mortgages and supports 165,000 mortgage professionals via its Encompass platform, needed to eliminate downtime, tighten security and accelerate time-to-market as it moved development into AWS and adopted a quarterly/monthly release cadence. With global customers operating around the clock, the company sought a zero-downtime, highly available CI/CD approach to reduce manual work, improve access control and scale its build-to-deploy process.

Ellie Mae adopted CloudBees Core (built on Jenkins) to manage pipelines as code, centralize delivery, use validated plugins and enforce role-based access, plus gain pipeline analytics and expert support. The result: a 20% increase in developer efficiency, faster releases to market, stronger security and availability, better visibility into pipelines and easier hiring of developers familiar with the Jenkins ecosystem.
