Case Study: Ciena Corporation improves version control and document management with Perforce Helix

Ciena migrates over 70% of workforce to Perforce

Ciena Corporation, a global leader in communications network platforms, faced challenges in managing document and source code revisions across its widespread workforce. Their development and non-technical teams needed a more efficient version control system to prevent lost files, streamline updates, and consolidate numerous engineering intranet sites. They implemented Perforce Helix VCS to address these issues.

The solution from Perforce provided high-speed performance and simplicity, which won over both technical developers and non-technical staff. As a result, Ciena successfully migrated over 70 percent of its relevant workforce to Perforce, consolidating its intranet and improving productivity. The system now manages 13 million files for more than 750 users with a single full-time administrator, ensuring reliable tracking of changes and meeting project deadlines.
