Case Study: Cerner achieves 75% faster time to market with CollabNet VersionOne

Cerner corporation achieves faster time to market with Agile

Cerner Corporation, a large healthcare technology provider with more than 3,000 developers, faced a major challenge: major innovations were taking roughly 30 months to reach clients. To compete amid healthcare reform the company adopted a “pragmatic agile” approach—standardizing agile principles while letting teams choose Scrum, Kanban, XP, Lean, etc.—and sought an enterprise agile ALM platform to enable people, process and tools to change together.

Cerner selected the VersionOne platform for its flexibility and ease of use, enabling faster problem detection, one‑click roll‑up reporting, and cross‑team adoption beyond development. The results were dramatic: time to market fell by 75%, productivity rose 24%, development costs dropped 14%, critical defect turnaround improved 50%, quality improved (internal KPIs +6%), and teams gained more accurate delivery forecasts.
