Case Study: Cisco Meraki achieves faster, automated Salesforce releases with Gearset

Creating a unified release management process and implementing version control with Gearset

Cisco Meraki, an industry leader with over 200,000 customers and three Salesforce development teams supporting 1,200+ end users, needed to move beyond error-prone change sets to enable version control, automation, and better cross-team collaboration. They selected Gearset as a user-friendly deployment and release-management platform that integrates with GitHub to standardize and simplify their Salesforce release process.

Gearset implemented an automated, CI-backed workflow that links GitHub branches to Meraki’s sandboxes, allowing developers to commit code while admins reliably gather and deploy changes for testing. The new process eliminated manual spreadsheets and reduced deployment risk—resulting in well over a thousand deployments to date, faster testing cycles, improved visibility between teams, and faster project delivery with tighter control over production changes.
