The IT branch of a Queensland Government department was spending an entire day to migrate code between Oracle environments. Using manual methods also introduced errors, which resulted in rework and another day to migrate the code.

“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.”
