Case Study: Orbitz Worldwide achieves faster deployments, improved code quality and hundreds of thousands in savings with Jira Software

Orbitz Worldwide Migrates to Git With Help From Atlassian

Orbitz Worldwide is a leading online travel site operating in over 180 countries with more than $11 billion in annual transactions, so downtime is extremely costly. The company’s centralized version-control system wasn’t scaling — it was slow and caused long delays for remote teams, hindering rapid updates and e-commerce performance.

Orbitz migrated to Git and Bitbucket, leveraging tight integration with Jira, Confluence and other Atlassian tools and implementing a continuous-integration pipeline for mobile to manage multiple brands from a common code base. The 2,500-hour migration cut costs by hundreds of thousands of dollars, enabled production deployments every three days, improved code review through pull requests, and helped catch bugs earlier for faster turnaround.
