Case Study: Dassault Aviation slashes deployment time from weeks to hours and boosts developer satisfaction with XebiaLabs XL Deploy

Dassault Aviation Jet-propels Deployments, Boosts Developer Satisfaction with XebiaLabs

Dassault Aviation, a global aerospace company, needed to reduce the cost and complexity of deploying business and IT applications used by its engineering teams. Their existing “Automated Software Factory” (Git, Jenkins, etc.) didn’t cover deployments, which were manual, required weeks of planning, and constrained release velocity—so the IT release-management team sought a solution to automate deployments and bring releases and resources under control.

They adopted XL Deploy from the XebiaLabs DevOps Platform to automate configuration, deployments and component-version tracking across complex environments. Since implementation they’ve automated roughly 50% of deployments, run about 200 deployments per month, cut production deploy time from weeks to hours, standardized Dev/Ops processes, increased deployment frequency and developer autonomy, and reported a marked rise in developer satisfaction.
