Case Study: DATEV achieves better code quality and faster delivery with SonarSource SonarQube Server

DATEV improves code quality across 250 products with SonarSource

DATEV, a major European IT service provider, faced significant code quality challenges across its portfolio of 250 products. With a strict policy that led to suppressed issues rather than fixes, and the complexity of navigating three different technology stacks, their software had become exceedingly complex. They turned to SonarSource and adopted SonarQube Server to find a unified solution.

The solution from SonarSource involved a proactive, community-driven strategy to define quality rules, moving away from a top-down mandate. This fostered collaboration and dismantled silos. The results included a palpably better codebase, a spike in developer productivity, and notably shorter timeframes for time-to-market. They achieved a state where all new cloud-native code was pushed without a single issue.
