Case Study: Ontario Teachers’ Pension Plan speeds data provisioning and cuts storage costs with Perforce Delphix

Ontario Teachers’ Pension Plan cuts data provisioning from 2 weeks to 5-10 minutes with Perforce

The Ontario Teachers’ Pension Plan faced long wait times for production-like data, requiring one to two weeks and multiple approvals to obtain a usable database copy for development and QA. This created bottlenecks and limited developer autonomy. To address this, they turned to Perforce and its Delphix data platform.

Perforce implemented Delphix to virtualize production databases, automating provisioning through Ansible and enabling self-service access for developers. This solution reduced data provisioning time from weeks to days, and often to just five to ten minutes for fresh data. The organization also achieved significant storage cost savings by eliminating full production copies, while improving operational resilience and disaster recovery capabilities.
