Case Study: Diligent cut deployment time from 2 weekends to 2-3 hours with Octopus
Key results
The challenge
Diligent provides governance, risk, compliance, audit, and ESG software used by over one million users and more than 700,000 board members and leaders. Before Octopus, the team deployed software to multiple data centers by running manual scripts, and a typical deployment took 4 days across 2 weekends with 3 to 4 engineers.
The solution
Diligent adopted Octopus Deploy in 2020 to automate and standardize its deployments, using the Tenants feature to define one deployment process across its databases and manage each deployment's unique requirements with tenant tags.
“Octopus has helped us change our mindset from let's just get stuff done to let's get things automated and repeatable.”

The results, in context
After introducing Octopus to production, Diligent can release to all 10 data centers in 2 to 3 hours with a single engineer, down from 4 days across 2 weekends run by 3 to 4 engineers. Deployments became repeatable and auditable as the company scaled.
