Case Study: Optimizely streamlines R&D cost capitalization with Jellyfish

Optimizely saves 380+ hours of manual effort with Jellyfish

Optimizely, a B2B SaaS company, faced significant challenges in managing its engineering operations and capitalizing R&D costs following multiple acquisitions. Their process was manual, relying on engineers to track time in Jira and accountants to merge data from disparate sources in spreadsheets. This was not only time-consuming and prone to human error but was also culturally prohibitive for their engineering teams. To solve this, Optimizely partnered with Jellyfish and its Engineering Management Platform.

By implementing Jellyfish, Optimizely automated its R&D cost capitalization process, eliminating the need for manual time tracking and data collection. The solution provided enhanced accuracy, standardization, and clear audit trails. This saved over 380 hours of manual effort per quarter in data collection and saved each engineer an average of 30 minutes per week. Furthermore, Jellyfish provided Optimizely with superior visibility into engineering metrics and helped highlight high-performing teams and individuals across the organization.
