U.S. Defense Agency Finds Efficiency and Security With Flosum

Min Read

SUMMARY:

An agency of the U.S. Department of Defense turned to Flosum Release Management & Data Migration to enable a new human resources application while coordinating development efforts with three SI partners and maintaining compliance with strict governance and security standards. Not only did they stay on a tight schedule and meet their deadline, they achieved greater efficiency and faster deployments.

NEED:

The agency needed to retire an old HR tool and move to a new system, all on a very aggressive timeline with no room for error. Both systems contained highly confidential information, and it was crucial that their chosen DevOps tool not jeopardize the tight security standards of the Government Cloud. Adding to the complexity was the fact that multiple consulting companies were working on the project, so user-friendly release collaboration and automation tools were essential.

SOLUTION:

Flosum was the only option that was approved to meet the agency’s very tight security standards because its100% native architecture — not just a UI layer like other AppExchange DevOps products — ensured no metadata or data would ever leave the Government Cloud. The native version control and flexible release pipeline kept the project on schedule while reducing manual efforts, creating a quick time to value while empowering disparate developers and admins with flexible, easily automated branching and pipelines.

RESULT:

The agency hit their launch timeline with no delays due to common release management challenges. Flosum has virtually eliminated code overwrites while improving release manager productivity 8x. Developers can produce 60% more development work since they spend less time managing version control, which enables releases to occur twice as frequently with 72% faster deployment. Flosum enables software branches, repeatable deployments, quick impact analysis, code merging and pull requests, and runs completely within the IL-4 accreditation boundary. Parallel deployment is working great, as Flosum streamlines code merges, makes conflict management easier than any other tool, and improves quality of deployments.

Due to the great success of this project, the agency has expanded the use of Flosum into many other departments within the agency.
