Software factory rationalization and DevOps convergence
Four software engineering silos dismantled to converge on a centralized, standardized model. Redundant licenses removed and CI/CD practices unified.
01 Challenges and context
Context and strategic stakes
This luxury group's technology organization suffered from severe fragmentation. Historical projects had led to the accumulation of four completely isolated DevOps silos: two on Azure, one on GCP, and a final on-premise one for legacy environments. This redundancy generated chronic incompatibilities, costly duplication of licenses (integration tools, security, monitoring), heterogeneous testing practices, and major infrastructure waste. The challenge was to dismantle these isolated islands and converge towards a centralized DevOps model, financially sustainable and perfectly integrated with the company's product launch roadmap.
02 Work carried out
Approach and methodology
Our DevOps engineers conducted a granular audit of all tooling and development practices. We defined a transversal evaluation grid assessing the excellence of source code management, the rigor of testing (unit, regression, performance), the use of Infrastructure as Code, and containerization strategies (Docker images). This uncompromising evaluation objectively identified inefficiencies and security shortcomings (DevSecOps) in each of the four contexts.
