Case Study: Porsche achieves 3x faster IT delivery and greater agility with Puppet Enterprise (Puppet)

How Porsche used Puppet Enterprise to speed up its IT processes

Porsche, long known for high-performance cars, faced a new challenge as it expanded into digital services like Porsche Connect: running a global portfolio of apps close to customers required a shift from reactive internal IT to a proactive, cloud-first, agile organization. The company struggled with outdated processes, a decade of legacy Puppet code, and cultural resistance from teams inexperienced with DevOps.

Porsche moved from Puppet open source to Puppet Enterprise, redesigned processes, rewrote configuration using roles and profiles, and formed a DevOps enablement team to guide people and projects. The changes accelerated delivery (about three times faster), simplified upgrades and security fixes with vendor support, and improved agility and customer-centered operations.
