BOSTON, MA — (Marketwire) — 07/14/11 — , the leading provider of application release automation, has helped leading French online travel agency to support their growing online activity while significantly reducing deployment operational expenditure. By adopting Deployit from XebiaLabs, can standardize and fully automate the deployment of 80 Java applications across all middleware and cloud environments delivering more applications with the same amount of resources.
“Application Deployment is now easier for people at all stages of the deployment process, now that we are leveraging the Deployit product. Application Deployment which had become a bottleneck for the growth of this company has now been put under control and can be executed seamlessly, allowing us to acquire new companies and release new offers faster and with confidence while staying ahead of the competition,” said Guillaume Postaire, Manager of IT Operations, Karavel.
Karavel is a 400M Euros company and is the leading online travel agency in France for travel packages. Karavel deploys an average of 50 application releases to production, per week. Historically, the IT Operations team had developed a rigid script that turned out to be inefficient when the company migrated to more fragmented SOA applications. Manual errors were becoming frequent while trying to cope with the growing number of releases produced by an agile development approach. The IT Ops team started to evaluate several deployment automation solutions including Open Source and Commercial ones. Karavel finally chose XebiaLabs due to its cost efficient and scalable approach to application deployments and short delivery time to market for applications.
Benefits that Karavel saw since implementing Deployit-s Unified Deployment Engine:
3x increase in resource utilization.
8x reduction in time to market.
Integration of Deployit with Maven so that the Deployment Packages are continuously generated after the build phase.
Increased ability to correlate application deployments with performance issues.
Continuous delivery enabled with the same package deployed to the different environments.
Improved governance on environments through LDAP integration for management of access rights and permissions.
“We are very pleased with Karavel choosing our deployment automation solution. They are already experiencing accelerated time to market and productivity gains and we have, yet another, happy customer,” Richard Mathias, Regional Manager, XebiaLabs/France.
