Case Study: Niagara LaSalle Corporation eliminates release and audit anxiety with CloudBees CD (CloudBees)

Niagara LaSalle Eliminates Release – and Audit – Anxiety with CloudBees CD

Niagara LaSalle, a subsidiary of Specialty Steel Works and North America’s largest independent cold‑finished steel bar producer, faced serious operational and compliance challenges. A small shared IT team created deployment bottlenecks—manual moves, travel schedules and contractor access to production—while an ERP migration exposed non‑compliance and inflated audit sample sizes and costs. Management needed better segregation of duties, auditability, and a way to offload routine tasks.

They implemented CloudBees CD to model repeatable pipelines, enforce fine‑grained access controls and publish verified payloads to a self‑service catalog. Automated logging and single‑report audits restored compliance and cut audit costs, releases became repeatable by authorized staff or contractors, and the IT team was freed from being the deployment chokepoint. Executives gained real‑time visibility via dashboards, eliminating the company’s prior release and audit anxiety.
