Watch the video to see how Opsera helped KeyWest networks achieve a 25% increase in productivity

KeyWest Networks is a wireless products company, providing point-to-point and multipoint network solutions for smart city initiations and the service provider market.

KeyWest Networks was started by an industry veteran who has over 20 years of engineering expertise in broadband and wireless products.

The Challenge

KeyWest Networks customizes its products for all the major infrastructure clients and the process requires a high velocity of software releases. For each deployment, KeyWest Networks has a dedicated release manager responsible for the program management, coordination, and success of both the process and deployment.

Everyday, the release manager's responsibilities include reviewing code quality scans, ensuring the build and deployments are successful, and performing a sanity test before the release is handed to the QA team for further quality checks.

Being a start-up and providing a dedicated resource to each product within each vertical, the overhead quickly begins to cumulate. KeyWest Networks was in need of an automated solution to provide leverage across all teams involved within the deployment process.

"With Opsera's end-to-end automation, we were able to increase the productivity of our developers and get visibility into all our pipelines and releases." - Kishore Gandham, Founder & CEO of KeyWest Networks.

The Solution

With Opsera, KeyWest Networks designed, configured, and built their first CI/CD pipeline within a single day. Opsera’s Declarative Pipelines enabled KeyWest Networks to automate their complete release process, including:

• Building
• Testing
• Code deployment

Today, KeyWest Networks has all of its project pipelines and logs viewable from a single dashboard by using Opsera.

“Now, I can see the development and quality metrics of individual contributors”. - Kishore Gandham, Founder & CEO of KeyWest Networks

The Result

KeyWest Networks has benefited from the time they are saving daily with the help of Opsera. With the automation of the KeyWest Network's complex release process, the productivity of developers increased by 25%. Opsera Unified Insights has also enabled end-to-end visibility into multiple project pipelines.

Opsera successfully provided:

• Increase in developer productivity by 25%.
• End-to-end visibility of logs and pipelines.
