Case Study: Deutsche Post achieves enterprise agility through DevOps with CollabNet VersionOne

Deutsche Post - Customer Case Study

Deutsche Post DHL’s MAIL division—responsible for hundreds of mission‑critical applications—was managing roughly 300 concurrent projects and 2,000+ people across global teams and 100+ external providers. Fragmented tools, manual handoffs, limited visibility into source code and documentation, growing technical debt and vendor lock‑in were slowing delivery, harming quality and making governance and scale increasingly difficult.

To fix this they standardized on CollabNet TeamForge as a centralized ALM/DevOps platform, integrating CI/CD, build/test/deploy automation and tools like HP QC, Hudson and Eclipse. The phased, hosted rollout cut provisioning from four months to near‑instant, uncovered defects earlier, improved collaboration and governance, delivered measurable cost savings and paid for itself after the first rollout while scaling across hundreds of projects and users.
