Case Study: Clear Channel Outdoor achieves deployment efficiency and standardization with Port

Clear Channel Outdoor streamlines deployments and reaches 700+ releases a year with Port

Clear Channel Outdoor (CCO), a major out-of-home advertising company, faced significant developer platform complexity during its transition from a monolithic application to a microservices architecture. This tool sprawl led to increased deployment failures, longer development times, and developer dissatisfaction. To address this, CCO turned to the vendor Port to implement its internal developer portal as a consolidation mechanism to unify and improve the developer experience.

By using Port's internal developer portal, CCO consolidated its CI/CD processes into two customizable blueprints, enabling standardized, self-service deployments that significantly reduced human error. The solution also aggregated system alerts and incidents into a single pane of glass, improving operational visibility and enabling targeted notifications. As a result, CCO dramatically increased its deployment velocity from two per month to over 700 releases per year, while also reducing recurring support questions and enhancing knowledge sharing across teams.
