Case Study: Axway achieves 26x faster DevOps cycles with GitLab

Axway realizes a 26x faster DevOps cycle by switching from Subversion to GitLab

Axway, a publicly held enterprise software company based in Paris and Phoenix, needed a better way to connect its globally distributed R&D teams and support a move to DevOps. Its legacy Subversion-based source code management was difficult to administer, didn’t scale well, and made collaboration across nine sites increasingly unmanageable.

GitLab Premium provided Axway with an on-premise, single-instance source code management platform that improved collaboration, simplified administration, and integrated smoothly with JIRA and Jenkins. With GitLab, Axway onboarded 600+ developers, migrated 3,000 projects, and cut cycle time from annual releases to as fast as two weeks for some products—a 26x faster DevOps cycle.
