Accelerating Time-to-Market for a Leading Destination Carrier in the US

Synopsis

A leading destination carrier in the US was facing issues with the delayed time-to-market for their new offerings to the customers. They turned to Coforge to improve the quality and speed of releases of complex, business-critical applications. By leveraging our DevOps Framework and designing and implementing an automated pipeline for them, we not only helped reduce errors in the future application releases but also cut the release cycle from weekly to daily and on-demand.

About the Client

The client is a leading destination carrier in the US. They leverage web and mobile platforms as distribution channels for their travel products and services.

Business Challenge

The client had a manual process in place for Build-Deploy-Test for Mule, C#, and Drools using disintegrated toolsets. This resulted in a slow turnaround time due to dependency on resources to enable the software delivery process. It was taking weeks for changes being made available to users. The trifold objectives of the client were:

• Improving time-to-market of changes for the mobile platform
