Case Study: PagesJaunes achieves 30% faster, more reliable application releases with XebiaLabs (XL Deploy)

French “Yellow Pages” PagesJaunes Improves Reliability of Application Release with XL Deploy

PagesJaunes, France’s leading local advertising service and one of the country’s top 10 websites (≈80M visits/month), faced unreliable, time‑consuming deployments driven by a patchwork of home‑made scripts. A small technical team handled 500+ monthly deployments across 100+ applications and 80+ Tomcat/Apache environments, but inconsistent environments, unversioned elements and poor visibility made deployments manual, hard to maintain and error-prone.

After a 2‑day proof of concept with XebiaLabs, PagesJaunes adopted XL Deploy to automate and standardize releases without installing agents. The change eliminated manual scripting, created a single unified deployment process, improved visibility and DevOps collaboration, reduced deployment time by 30%, and increased reliability and productivity while helping safeguard service levels for over half a million customers.
