Case Study: Charter Manufacturing achieves 60% faster deployments and 30% cost savings with Flexagon's FlexDeploy

How Charter Manufacturing Reduced Costs by 30% with FlexDeploy

Charter Manufacturing, a family‑owned leader in U.S. steel and iron production, faced error‑prone, inconsistent, and slow middleware provisioning and manual/scripted build-and-deploy processes that caused outages and poor visibility across environments. To modernize delivery and address issues across Oracle Fusion Middleware, E‑Business Suite, Azure, and EC2, Charter engaged Flexagon and deployed its FlexDeploy DevOps and Release Automation platform.

Flexagon implemented FlexDeploy to standardize and automate provisioning, builds, deployments, and orchestration across Charter’s Oracle and cloud stack, providing centralized visibility and controls. The results included full automation of WebLogic and SOA provisioning, a 75% reduction in new server middleware deployment, 50% faster EBS deployments, a 60% reduction in average deployment time, 25% fewer errors, a 30% cost reduction, and ROI within six months — enabling one person to orchestrate code moves and go‑lives.
