Clean off the Shelf<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shelfware is the enemy of software success. Customers have a\nvision that they can’t realize if they can’t manage the regular deployment of\ntransformation. When momentum is lost in the software release process, trust in\nthe technology platform is the first victim.  This leads to\ninvestment being lost and it creates friction with integrators and turnover of\ninternal staff frustrated with failure. Copado\nwas started by two release engineers who were tired of manually executing\ndeployments and wanted to find a better way to manage enterprise class\ndeployments.  When you meet any veteran of major salesforce deployments\nand tell them you have a way to automate the process of deployment and\ncontinuous integration, they instantly want to know more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Copado\u2019s mission is to enable faster, error-free\ndigital and cloud deployments and upgrades with continuous integration (CI)\ntechnologies and agile cloud release management, all via an enterprise-class\ndeveloper platform that is 100% native and fully integrated with Salesforce DX\nand Salesforce Clouds. Today, companies that use Salesforce and need help in\noptimizing their release management processes talk to us about best practices\nfor their release management process. It is at this moment of digital transformation meets deployment\nthat companies lean in and look at how to mature their release management\nprocess, so they can be confident in their ability to scale development on the\nplatform.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Best Practices<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Customers\nare looking for solutions to their problems, one which will help them to follow\nthe software development best practices, to have a traceability system and\nreduce time in all the release management steps.  Our best practices focus on trust, automation, optimization, security and\nescalation.  We work with large enterprises familiar with the usual pain\npoints, struggles and challenges of SFDC release management (changesets \/ ANT).\nThese companies usually have: (1) the means to afford the subscription, (2)\nresources with the appropriate skill sets \/ knowledge required to understand,\nadopt and endure the learning curve and (3) maturity to apply the change\nmanagement and adoption of the new tool throughout the organization; plus the\nbiggest delays\/pains when it comes to release management on SFDC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We help teams understand and deploy the best\npractices for a successful release.  The ability to manage user stories and make it easy to share with\nother developers is essential to building a solid development foundation. Here\nare a few key practices we have identified:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. If you want to grow your\n development teams to manage for enterprise class releases, you need\n automation and the ability to compare code. <\/li>
  2. It is very important that\n developers have the ability to bundle user stories across multiple teams,\n so managing changes are essential for managing continuous integration and\n updates. This is important because every day that your code sits on the\n shelf, no one realizes the benefit of your innovation.  <\/li>
  3. We\n find that businesses with teams of\n developers that need to focus on the business growth and not on the\n headaches of deployments and testing of new features appreciate the\n benefits of setting up a world class release program. <\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Copado\nisn\u2019t just a toolset (developers lean towards that, e.g. command-line, ant tool,\nor sfdx), it isn\u2019t just a project management tool (like Jira, that middle\nmanagers live in), nor a set of processes (manual or automated), \u200bit is the\nonly solution that provides a true end-to-end – User Story to Production\ncapability. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The Payoff<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The\ngreatest benefit of DevOps is time, even though everything that Copado does is\ntechnically possible to do manually, having a tool that does it automatically\nand in a trusted and repeatable way is extremely valuable to someone who knows\nthe pain and risks of a failed deployment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n


    \nDevelopers\nappreciate the benefits of building a foundation that will allow teams to\nscale, based on high confidence in their delivery practice and this results in\nbetter service to the business. Once a team is working then you start to\nrealize the real saving of a release management process. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
