Case Study: KinderSystems achieves a 2,000% increase in deployment frequency with Octopus Deploy

KinderSystems increased deployment frequency by 2,000% with Octopus Deploy

KinderSystems, the leading US provider of subsidy-management SaaS for state agencies, Head Start programs, and child care providers, faced complex multi‑cloud and on‑premises deployments, highly customized customer environments, and manual release processes that could take up to four weeks and cause staff burnout. To address these challenges, KinderSystems engaged Octopus Deploy (a continuous delivery and deployment automation platform).

Octopus Deploy automated KinderSystems’ complex, tenanted deployments using features like variable sets, scheduled runs, and Insights, enabling 100+ customer‑specific deployments to run in about 2 hours. The result: deployment frequency increased 2,000% over four years (peaking at 482 deployments in a week), a 90% year‑over‑year improvement in deployment frequency, lower operational costs, shorter release cycles, and reduced manual effort as helpdesk staff now execute standardized deployments.
