F5 builds exciting products that meet specific technical challenges in application performance, application security, online fraud prevention and multi-cloud management. Over the last few years, they are gradually adding SaaS-based offerings to their product line.
However, adding more technologies to manage their growing number of products and the growth in their teams corresponding to the new products also increased their deployment complexities.
F5’s lead time and release frequencies weren’t as fast as they wanted them to be. The company realized that they needed a DevOps tool to manage their deployment needs.
F5 started looking out for a DevOps platform that improved those metrics and also helped them increase the release velocity. They wanted a unified solution that met their Salesforce requirements, was seamless, had a simple user interface for the development team to roll out timely releases. Finally, they wanted a tool that integrated with their GIT version control and application lifecycle management platform.
KeyChallenges
The Solution
F5 went through a rigorous selection process to thoroughly review each DevOps tool that they shortlisted. They wanted to choose the best DevOps platform that met all their needs — and had some other scalable functionalities that could help them expand their Salesforce usage.
And Copado emerged as a clear winner.
With Copado, the F5 team has streamlined the deployment processes to become faster and more frequent. They don’t have to worry about deploying objects or user stories anymore. They have also built test automation to deliver CI/CD to perform URL callouts and run regression tools.
The Future
Copado has justified its return on investment (ROI) to the F5 team. They are happy with the changes that Copado has been able to make in their DevOps processes. With all the time that Copado has earned them today, the developers and release managers are able to focus more on innovation — working on platform strategy.
Because of the strategic partnership that Copado has with Salesforce, F5 is confident that it will scale along with their requirements and meet their more sophisticated needs in the future.
