Case Study: Takeda achieves 8x faster deployments and 5x fewer errors with Flexagon's FlexDeploy

Takeda Leveraged Workflows and Automation to Reduce Errors and Increase Deployment Speed by 8x

Takeda, the global biotechnology company focused on rare diseases with about 22,000 employees, faced inconsistent, manual deployments of Oracle WebLogic and SOA artifacts and a cumbersome change-control process that created bottlenecks as the organization scaled. Seeking a commercial, scalable automation platform, Takeda evaluated options and installed the Community Edition of Flexagon’s FlexDeploy to prove out workflow, release management, approvals, and automated deployment across environments.

Flexagon implemented FlexDeploy to provide reusable workflows, built-in approvals, rollback capabilities, and automated pipelines for Fusion Middleware and other technologies (Apigee, Docker, Kubernetes). The solution delivered measurable impact: an 8x increase in deployment speed, a 5x reduction in errors and outages, a 95% success rate across 400 projects and 35 environments, and ROI in four months, while reducing manual scripting and improving auditability.
