Case Study: Sutter Health achieves faster, more reliable Salesforce deployments with Gearset

Replacing change sets with Gearset to drastically cut the time spent preparing and deploying changes

Sutter Health, a not-for-profit healthcare provider in Northern California supporting over 50,000 doctors, staff and volunteers, needed to replace Salesforce Change Sets to reduce lengthy, error-prone manual release processes and better track org drift. Their implementation partner recommended Gearset, and Sutter Health adopted Gearset’s deployment and change-monitoring tools to simplify metadata migrations and reporting across multiple Salesforce orgs.

Gearset enabled rapid comparisons and one-step deployments that eliminated manual profile and custom-setting moves, improved change visibility, and reduced release effort dramatically. With Gearset, Sutter Health cut deployments from days to hours—one rollout that was expected to take two days finished in four hours—and reported that tasks that used to take about eight hours now take less than one. Gearset’s tooling freed team capacity, reduced risk during tight release windows, and improved ongoing org monitoring.
