Case Study: Ellie Mae achieves faster global application delivery and higher-quality software with Skytap Cloud

Ellie Mae Accelerates Global Application Delivery Process and Improves Software Quality with Skytap Cloud

Ellie Mae, a leading provider of mortgage origination and document-processing software, relied on a 50-person IT team to support a complex portfolio and a growing global development footprint. Faced with complex cross-platform test matrices, a testing infrastructure that was a release bottleneck, limited IT operations capacity, and the need to add offshore resources in China, the company needed a scalable, self-service testing platform to speed releases and improve collaboration.

Ellie Mae adopted Skytap Cloud as a global development and testing platform, running a rapid pilot and then expanding to its China team. The self-service virtual environments cut environment setup/tear-down time by over 85% (from weeks to about a day), reduced build download times from 3.5 hours to 4 minutes, lowered bug reproduction time by 80%, improved cross‑site collaboration, delivered higher test coverage and software quality, and was deployed in less than a week.
