Then

Enterprises need to deliver faster, increase quality, and reduce the cost and risk associated with software delivery.

In this case, the IT branch of a Queensland Government Department was spending an entire day to migrate code between Oracle environments. Using manual methods was slow and introduced errors, which resulted in rework and another day to migrate the code.

How?

After a technology evaluation, a Proof of Concept was undertaken using FlexDeploy, a Continuous Deployment and Release Automation (CDRA) software product from Flexagon.

FlexDeploy is a DevOps Platform for Continuous Delivery and Release Automation which supports traditional and agile software methodologies, can be used with open source and commercial technologies, and provides value to organisations of all sizes. FlexDeploy streamlines deployment and release pipelines across on premises and cloud environments, reducing errors, outages, and time to market.

Now

The result was a massive reduction of effort and errors.

"We went from needing one entire day to migrate between environments and needing lots of testing and rework to just 30 minutes without the introduction of any errors. We have been using FlexDeploy for three years with a very high level of
confidence now and are planning to use it for all our major systems. It has been a great investment for us."

Who?

The Queensland Government Department has been an Integral customer since 2011 during which time we have completed a number of consulting engagements to support the Oracle Fusion Middleware (OFM), BPM and SOA products. During this period, Integral also provided our ConfigNOW product used for configuration and deployment management of Oracle Fusion Middleware technologies, including Oracle WebLogic.

In 2017, Integral decided investigated tools that would be useful to the Department as their Oracle technology stack continued to expand. After an exhaustive global search, Integral decided that Flexagon’s FlexDeploy would be of most value.

Since 2017, Integral has continued to assist the Department by providing training, advice and consulting services with FlexDeploy and Oracle middleware support services.
