CIBTP automates and secures its multi-platform deployments using DROPS

Mock Up DROPS Success story CIBTP

The Customer

The CIBTP Group is a national operation run by entrepreneurs serving 220,000 companies and craftsmen and 1.4 million employees in the construction industry. Currently the network comprises thirteen agencies throughout France.

Context

The goal of the Siris programme is to modernize and migrate all CIBTP agencies into a common, secured information system, managed centrally in order to share costs and standardize working practices across the group.

Solution

While seeking to maximize automation in application deployment, the CIBTP team faced the challenge of their disparate mix of development and operating platforms.
Given the wide range of technologies used, it became a priority to select a multi-platform Release Automation solution able to deploy heterogenous application components in a synchronous manner.

Case Study Highlights

  • Industry: Activities of employers' and consular bodies.

  • Characteristics: The business application was developed using the Adelia Cloud Studio tool from Hardis.

  • Challenge: To perform rapid deployments and meet the demands of the business, the CIBTP team needed to drastically reduce the time between development of a feature and its provision to the end user. Maximal automation was therefore a key factor in its choice of a new solution.
