Case Study: Wavesat achieves higher developer productivity and reduced release costs with Ubuntu's Bazaar version control

Wavesat uses Bazaar Version Control to increase developer productivity

Wavesat, a provider of wireless solutions to global carriers and device makers, was struggling to manage software across multiple parallel projects and a growing, distributed development team. Their first‑generation version control system lacked robust tagging and merge tools, causing complex, time‑consuming merges, slow bug fixes and added resource cost and pressure across geographically dispersed teams.

Wavesat migrated to Bazaar with Canonical training and support, gaining better tagging, intelligent automatic merges, flexible centralized/distributed workflows, and measures to protect release integrity. The change reduced merge conflicts and rollbacks, sped up fixes, improved performance for teams with unreliable connections, and streamlined workflows—resulting in higher developer productivity and lower release costs.
