Case Study: Xactly achieves faster, failure-free CI and $575K annual savings with Harness CI

Xactly’s Journey from Shadow IT to a Single Pane of Glass CI

Xactly, a SaaS company behind revenue operations products like Xactly Incent and Xactly Forecasting, needed a more reliable and efficient continuous integration process. Its Jenkins-based CI environment was crashing multiple times a day, creating long build queues, slow feedback loops, and poor traceability across builds and tests. Harness CI was introduced to replace the unstable setup and support Xactly’s software delivery and data science teams.

With Harness CI, Xactly achieved consistent build times from commit to completion, with no queueing or build failures, while also improving traceability through CI pipelines. Harness helped Xactly eliminate its EC2-based Jenkins farm, saving an estimated $575,000 per year. The company also reported faster developer feedback, better productivity, and a much improved developer experience.
