Case Study: St. James’s Place achieves faster, more secure Salesforce releases with Gearset

St. James’s Place streamlines 22,137 deployments with Gearset

St. James’s Place (SJP), a major UK wealth management firm, partnered with Intellect Design Arena for a large-scale Salesforce Financial Services Cloud implementation. Their challenge was establishing a robust DevOps process to support over 10,000 users and meet a goal of biweekly releases. Their initial manual process using change sets was slow, error-prone, and made their desired release cadence impossible to achieve.

By implementing Gearset, the team automated their deployments and adopted advanced DevOps Pipelines. This solution from Gearset enabled a successful biweekly release cadence, streamlined operations, and fortified security. The measurable results included running over 26,000 CI jobs and completing more than 22,000 deployments. Gearset freed up significant time for the team, allowing them to focus on development and introduce thorough vulnerability scanning, which transformed their deployment process.
