84% Increase in Productivity
“It was taking our team five days to do a proper manual deployment, so I decided it was time to move automation to the next level. By increasing the utilization of Octopus Deploy's automation features from 10% to 80%, the company has increased productivity by over 84%. Now we have more efficiency and accuracy. It’s a completely different deployment experience.”

Saving Time & Money
“Our old method of deployments was cumbersome on our IT team, and required significant time and stress. Clear Measure helped us set up an Octopus Deploy configuration that allows us to initiative mid-day deployments, saving time we would have normally spent after-hours to do a deployment.”

With a well-implemented CI/CD (Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment) pipeline, deployments can happen as frequently as multiple times per day, driven by your business needs rather than technical limitations.
In a mature CI/CD environment, every code commit triggers an automated process that builds the application, runs automated tests, and can potentially deploy to production. This means deployments could theoretically happen dozens of times daily. However, the actual frequency typically depends on several factors:
The key advantage of CI/CD isn't just the ability to deploy frequently to meet business need, but rather the reliability and consistency of the deployment process. Whether you're deploying once per month or multiple times per day, each deployment follows the same automated, tested process, significantly reducing the risk of errors and making deployments a routine, low-stress operation.
Quality Assurance (QA) plays an important role in our custom software deployment services. These are vital to ensure reliability, security, and quality performance of the final product. A systematic approach to Quality Assurance helps prevent costly issues from reaching production environments.
Octopus Deploy streamlines comprehensive QA processes to catch potential problems early in the development cycle when they're less expensive to fix. QA also ensures that the software meets all specified requirements and functions as intended across different scenarios and user interactions.
Security validation, a crucial aspect of QA, helps protect against vulnerabilities that could expose sensitive data or compromise system integrity. Regular security testing and code reviews help identify potential weaknesses early on in the process.
Performance testing under QA ensures the software can handle expected user loads while maintaining responsive operation. This includes stress testing to verify system stability under peak conditions and identifying potential bottlenecks before they impact end users.
User experience testing within QA validates that the software is intuitive and accessible, reducing training costs and user frustration. This includes testing across different devices, browsers, and operating systems to ensure consistent functionality.
We follow a comprehensive, proven methodology that ensures a smooth and secure transition for our clients in all of our Octopus deploy inspection services. Our custom software deployment consulting follows a proven methodology based on years of experience.
Initial Assessment and Planning: Our team conducts a thorough analysis of your existing application architecture, dependencies, and deployment processes. We create detailed migration plans that include identifying cloud resource requirements, establishing security requirements, and defining success criteria. This phase includes mapping out your deployment pipeline and configuring Octopus Deploy to work with your chosen cloud provider.
Environment Configuration: We set up distinct environments in Octopus Deploy (Development, Staging, Production) to mirror your cloud infrastructure. This includes configuring cloud-specific variables, connection strings, and security settings. We establish secure communication channels between Octopus Deploy and your cloud provider.
Deployment Process Setup: Our team’s Octopus deploy consulting services create and test deployment processes in Octopus Deploy.
