Case Study: Standard Bank achieves 5x more releases and 500 monthly user stories with Copado

Africa’s Largest Bank with 5x More Releases and 500 User Stories Monthly

Standard Bank, Africa’s largest financial institution, needed a faster, more secure way to manage Salesforce deployments across 20 African countries and seven international markets. Before working with Copado, the bank relied on manual deployment processes that were slow, error-prone, and created merge conflicts, security concerns, and compliance risks for its teams.

With Copado’s Salesforce DevOps platform, Standard Bank automated deployments, centralized version control, and added automated testing and quality gates. The bank moved from monthly to twice-weekly releases, delivered over 500 user stories per month, and achieved 5x more frequent releases, 10x faster delivery, 75% fewer manual steps, and 80% fewer deployment failures, improving both quality and team morale.
