Valmet is a Finnish industrial corporation that builds automated systems for the pulp, paper and energy industries in 30+ countries. The company develops future-proof technologies and automated systems for the pulp, paper and energy industries around the world.
Headquartered in Espoo, the public enterprise partners with mills, plants and factories to transform raw materials into renewable resources.
Valmet’s IT team implemented Salesforce in 2016 to drive enterprise-grade cloud transformation and handle customer-facing solutions in one place. To keep up with configuration requests, Valmet’s IT team needed to find a way to scale Salesforce at an enterprise level — fast.
Weekly Automated Regression Tests
Increase In User Story Deployments
Pipeline Visibility And Traceability
Production Issues Due To Fewer Overlaps
Valmet turned to the test automation marketplace to support the groundswell of Salesforce development and lock down a high level of software quality. Manual regression testing was taking far too much time to cover the growing scale of Salesforce development.
Without test automation, QA professionals lacked the time or the tools to keep up with Valmet's aggressive release timeline. As a result, Valmet's IT team was forced to cross their fingers and hope developers caught every bug in the development stage during unit testing.
In 2019, Valmet had over 3,000 professionals using Salesforce to enhance customer engagement. However, Valmet’s IT team lacked a single source of truth to combat rising complexity and keep external development teams on the same page — creating a climate of low visibility, merge conflicts and high-risk software delivery.
Developer environments weren’t up-to-date with production changes and Valmet needed a smarter way to manage releases. In 2021, Sogeti helped Valmet implement Copado Robotic Testing to deliver end-to-end test automation across Salesforce and multi-cloud environments.
Valmet turned to the test automation marketplace to solve its release management challenges and support the Salesforce development's groundswell. Copado CI/CD and Copado Robotic Testing worked hand-in-hand to ramp up the volume and velocity of Valmet’s Salesforce pipeline.
Today, Valmet’s IT team has over 20 people who work across two production orgs to serve 7,500 internal and external Salesforce users. Copado is Valmet’s single source of truth that enables the company to scale without growing pains.
Valmet’s IT team continues to pilot new integrations and search for new ways to fuse Copado CI/CD and Robotic Testing to improve continuous development. From quality gates to version control, Valmet wields a wide range of cloud-native DevOps capabilities to serve pulp, paper and energy enterprises in over 30 countries.
“The quality assurance transformation journey we've had with Valmet and Copado has decreased our amount of manual work and increased the pace of releases,” says Juha Vaitilo, Head of Sales and QE&T Practice Leader, Sogeti Finland. “To achieve these results, we build processes across all development lifecycles and automate testing to enable agility and modern development.”
