Case Study: Gain Capital achieves 75% reduction in development cycle time and accelerates application releases with Delphix

Accelerates Application Releases with Delphix

Gain Capital, a London-based leader in spread betting and CFD trading, needed to speed software delivery but was held back by slow, labor-intensive data provisioning. Development teams ran up to eight projects at once, yet creating fresh database copies took up to four hours and required careful coordination, causing long development cycles and forcing delays or cancellations of new initiatives.

Gain Capital deployed the Delphix data platform to virtualize and deliver SQL Server data after a three-month proof of concept and a one-month rollout. The result: database copies cut from four hours to three minutes, self-service data access for 30+ developers, a complex project completed in six weeks instead of six months, eliminated QA environments, lower infrastructure costs, a 75% reduction in development cycle times, and a 20% increase in IT output to the business.
