Case Study: a Central Government Department achieves a streamlined, secure software development lifecycle with Version 1

Central Government Department cuts developer wait times by 90% with Version 1

Version 1 was engaged by a central government department to address significant challenges in its software development lifecycle. The absence of internal DevOps capabilities had resulted in security vulnerabilities, a lack of accountability, and redundant efforts due to non-standardized processes. The customer needed to improve efficiency through automation and enhanced tooling.

The solution implemented by Version 1 involved a strategic pivot to automation, including streamlining DNS management with Terraform and CI/CD, revamping GitHub access controls, and introducing a direct Level 3 support service. This resulted in measurable impacts such as £11,000 in monthly savings, GitHub compliance increasing from 19% to 51%, and an average support ticket response time of under five minutes. Version 1's efforts greatly improved operational efficiency and security for the customer.
