Case Study: Rabobank achieves 60% faster deployments and 99% fewer release errors with XebiaLabs' XL Deploy

Rabobank - Customer Case Study

Rabobank, a global cooperative bank with about 60,000 employees and a large portfolio of in‑house and customer‑facing applications across UNIX, Linux, z/OS and Windows environments, faced long, manual and error‑prone deployments. Configuration drift and manual infrastructure changes caused frequent delays and failures (over 20%), slowing time‑to‑market and increasing operational risk across Development, Test, Acceptance and Production environments.

Rabobank implemented XebiaLabs’ XL Deploy to automate and standardize deployments, embed infrastructure with application code, and provide self‑service and visibility without installing agents on target servers. Within a year deployments were 60% faster (moving from weeks to hours), 99% of release errors were eliminated, continuous delivery was enabled, costs dropped, and developers were freed to focus on delivering business value — delivering rapid ROI and more reliable releases.
