Optimize rollout efficiency with Managed Release Program

Business challenge

You wrestle with complex, overlapping IT initiatives.

Innovapost solution

Innovapost developed a Managed Release Program for Canada Post that deploys software in organized stages, letting application rollouts run efficiently without adversely impacting other IT systems.

Many large organizations wrestle with overlapping IT initiatives—initiatives that draw from the same IT and business resources, code base, servers, and development and test environments. One successful project rollout, for example, might be erased as a new project is developed and rolled out over top of the previous initiative in a live environment.

In response, the Innovapost Managed Release Program offers a disciplined and systematic approach to deploying software in organized stages so that application rollouts in a live environment function as intended and don’t adversely impact any other IT system in the enterprise.

The Managed Release Program is capable of deploying dozens of initiatives over highly orchestrated release weekends with little risk of downtime or business process errors. And, instead of reducing an organization’s ability to stay nimble, the Managed Release Program actually enhances it.

How? The Managed Release Program’s structured approach facilitates constant forward action while it removes much of the risk associated with bugs, overlapping code, and sudden shifts in server and hardware utilization.
