Denmark's Topdanmark Drives Competitiveness by Standardizing on BMC
BladeLogic
Aug. 17, 2010 (Business Wire) -- Beset with a slow and error-prone deployment process that undermined its competitive edge, Denmark’s leading insurance company, Topdanmark, turned to BMC Software (NASDAQ: BMC) to improve productivity and efficiencies.
With the implementation of its BladeLogic Application Release Automation solution, BMC brought new levels of automation to Topdanmark, enabling the simultaneous development and deployment of up to 30 parallel projects. Application deployment is completed within a couple of hours compared to the previous average of 24 hours, a significant time savings of nearly 70 percent. Critical applications are brought to market faster, allowing Topdanmark to maintain its competitive position within the insurance market.
“Our previous approach was labor intensive and unscalable. Moreover, there was the threat that misconfigurations may result in application downtime,” said Peter Reetz, IT architect at Topdanmark. “Based on the recommendations of a major analyst firm, we selected BMC Software, which quickly led to smoother processes and improved business responsiveness.”
The automation mechanism of the BMC BladeLogic solution ensures that all servers and applications are properly and consistently configured, leading to a dramatic improvement in the quality and reliability of the application release cycle.
“BMC Software met all of our needs, delivering ease-of-use, functionality and product credibility,” Reetz said.
