Meet Our Partner
The client was a top-tier telecommunication and broadcasting firm that stepped into the Indian market in 2007. Being a subsidiary enterprise of a leading multinational conglomerate, they have expanded the LTE network over 22 telecom circles. With their years of corporate reputation and nationwide presence, our client has forecasted a US$11 billion revenue expansion as of FY 2020-21.
Call for Innovation
Our partner offers one-stop telecom solutions to thousands of Indian users. To control their operational activities, our client has orchestrated standard technical resources comprising
- Project management: JIRA + IBM RTC
- Defect tracking: JIRA + IBM RTC
- Source code management: GitLab + Supervision

As they were facing myriad operational difficulties, the ultimate requirements from Canarys came as follows:
- Since different vendors owned the above tools and techniques, they wanted us to develop integrated solutions.
- Monitoring the work progress or capturing end-to-end traceability must be our foremost priority.
- They desired to get a complete breakdown structure for project planning.
- Enforcement of Branch policies to GitLab for seamless code reviews and quality
- Significantly reduced build time for business agility

Additionally, they wanted us to consolidate multiple Jenkins and GitLab servers serving 6000+ users and integrate data for easy reporting.
When Technology Blends Human Inventiveness
Partnering with them, Canarys has fully structured Azure DevOps Server with SQL Always-On Availability groups. Our tech crats considered comprehensive DevOps toolchains and migration approaches while phase-wise implementing solutions.
To onboard the unstoppable telecom solutions, we strategized a personalized plan for them that includes:
- JIRA to Azure Boards migrations of 150+ projects using Solidify (third-party common) within two months
- Accessed Import Repository Option in Azure DevOps for easy migration from GitLab repos to Azure Repos
