Case Study: Luxury Automotive Manufacturing Company achieves 300% faster software delivery with CloudBees Core

Luxury Automotive Manufacturer Speeds Software Delivery by 300%

A global luxury automotive manufacturer’s financial services group — which supports millions of lease and finance contracts and a worldwide dealer network — faced slow, manual build-and-deploy processes, a growing single point of failure in Jenkins, and strict regulatory requirements that limited releases to three major updates per year. They needed to automate pipelines, reduce downtime risk, and enforce separation-of-duty controls to respond faster to customer and regulatory demands.

By adopting a DevOps approach with CloudBees Core (High Availability, vetted plugins, Role-Based Access Control, a Java EE Cockpit for automated onboarding, and separate Dev/Ops masters) the team automated CI/CD pipelines, minimized downtime and compliance risk, and freed engineers to innovate—boosting release cadence from three a year to one per month (a 300% increase) while gaining enterprise support.
